About this listen

Anyone familiar with H. P. Lovecraft's work knows of the Necronomicon, the black-magic grimoire he invented as a literary prop in his classic horror stories. There have been several attempts at creating this text, yet none stand up to Lovecraft's own descriptions of the Necronomicon...until now. Fans of Lovecraftian magic and occult fiction will delight in Donald Tyson's Necronomicon, based purely within Lovecraft's own fictional universe, the Cthulhu Mythos.

This grimoire traces the wanderings of Abdul Alhazred, a necromancer of Yemen, on his search for arcane wisdom and magic. Alhazred's magical adventures lead him to the Arabian desert, the lost city of Irem, ruins of Babylon, lands of the Old Ones, and Damascus, where he encounters a variety of strange creatures and accrues necromantic secrets.

Brilliant book, was surprised how faithful to lovecraft it really is, well worth the time spent.

Quite surprised

Great narrator. The content is very respectful of the existing Lovecraft lore and the style is very complimentary, while also bringing its own flavour. The best non-lovecraft lovecraft I have read. Great work.

Excellent

This has really grabbed me again and brought me back to Audible. Love the calm, no nonsense telling of such a cool novel. I can’t say much to its credibility against Lovecraft’s worlds, but it gave me some awesome dreams.

A fun listen
