First mentioned by H.P Lovecraft in the 1920s and referred to throughout his fiction, the Necronomicon - a spurious book of occult knowledge - is so infamous that horror cognoscenti playfully speculate it might exist. Tyson isn't the first writer to attempt a full "translation" of the forbidden text.
Fans of Lovecraftian magic and occult fiction will delight in Tyson's "Necronomicon," based purely within Lovecraft's own fictional universe, the Cthulhu Mythos.
