Synopsis
In The Necronomicon Files, two occult authorities explore all aspects of the Necronomicon, from its first appearance in H. P. Lovecraft's science fiction to its ongoing pervasive appearance in cult and occult circles. Scholarly yet accessible, humorous and intriguing, The Necronomicon Files illuminates the depth of the creative process and the transformations of modern myth, while still managing to preserve much of the romance and fascination that surrounds the Necronomicon.
Der Autor über sein Buch
The Necronomicon Files
The Necronomicon Files is, quite simply, the best reference source on that infamous work of black magic, the Necronomicon. Sadly, most of the material on this subject - even encyclopedia entries - were inaccurate or lacked crucial information, making a work clearing up the confusion even more necessary. As we worked on this project, some asked us if there was enough material on the Necronomicon to write a book on the subject. As this book shows, the Necronomicon is bigger than many suspect, and may rank as one of the twentieth century's most fascinating literary and occult phenomena.

As this book shows, the Necronomicon is bigger than many suspect, and may rank as one of the twentieth century's most fascinating literary and occult phenomena.
The Necronomicon Files is a complete book, and even an outsider who knows nothing of the Necronomicon can become an expert by reading this book. Containing articles on the book's role in the fiction of horror writer H. P. Lovecraft, the various hoaxes that have appeared, a brief history of modern occultism and the book's significance therein, and its appearances in the movies and television, the Necronomicon Files contains information known to every fan, as well as much data never collected before. All of this material has been extensively documented, allowing those who dispute our conclusions the means to investigate them further. This is the first edition of a work which will become an essential work in the libraries of horror aficionados and occultists alike. -- Dieser Text bezieht sich auf eine vergriffene oder nicht verfügbare Ausgabe dieses Titels.

I have been curious on what the big hype on the Necronomicon was. After reading this book I have a greater understanding and started to develope an intrest to learn more. I like how the authors bring in qoutes and examples from other texts so you can come to your own conclusions by reading those books your self. I ahve placed orders for two other books, hopefully they will be as enjoyable as this one. I really liked the movie review section and the explanations on how they tied into the Mythos and the Necronomicon. I would recommend this book, I already have a few friends lined up to read it.

This book is the result of an incredible amount of research. The Necronomicon is covered in all aspects - as a creation of Lovecraft, his inspirations in its creation, as a book of real magic and the many (certainly more than I knew about) hoaxes and literary recreations. Detailed coverage of its history in film (including cameos), television, comics, etc. All this and yet it reads smoothly and well and you can hold it with one hand. A must have have Lovecraft fans.

I think the reviewer from San Diego may not have read the same book I read. The one I read was well-researched, well written, and stocked with interesting facts. The entire point of the book, in fact, is that the Necronomicon is a myth - but it's an interesting myth, which came from Lovecraft and developed a life of it's own. A great read, well worth the money, and highly recommended.
