The Necronomicon gazes backwards into the abyss of time, enshrining the remnant of a perilous magical inheritance, one that comes from an ancient, pre-human past when awful Entities wrestled for possession of the earth. Where did they go and what is their legacy? The Necronomicon evokes strange answers to these questions. Usually ascribed to H P Lovecraft, this dark work may actually come from a time long ago, and a tradition that is not human.
