How did you manage to find a thread that's almost a year and half old? Is there a hack to the search engine or something?

Oh I know about THAT. I just didn't think somebody would actually go through the effort of checking through 20 pages of such threads just to dig up an old one and add a sentence. I was wrong!

I sold Mine on Amazon, for 99p more than it was worth! (I sold it for 99p, then).

Was the necronomican a genuine occult grimoire written by the "mad arab" abdul al hazrad in the 11th century ?
Nah !, I think it was written from scratch as a background source material for the cthulu mythos by a bookish, shy scifi/horror author from New England called Howard Philip Lovecraft. I own a copy of one of the updated versions of the necronomican which contains the "original" text plus comments, articles by fans, and enthusiasts of Lovecraft including August Derleth.
I think the idea of owning the book somehow "curses" you is....well.....bullplop quite frankly. Many satanists, chaos magicians, and occultists use some of the cthulu mythology in their rituals and they haven't been plagued by misfortune.

I purchased this book at the age of thirteen.
It's powerful stuff.
In fact, I've been stuck inside my magjickal circle ever since that fateful day, when I summoned "the Watcher."
Now it's just common sense, of course,
that one can't rightfully leave a mah-jick circle without a proper banishment spell.
Alas! -- My necro-tome of black writ had been thoughtlessly left outside the bounds of my protective circle!
Damn you, Mad Arab... Damn you...

Oh, come on now, the paper it is written on must have some value. It can be recycled and used for some useful purpose.
I actually still have my copy. Why? Because it wasn't worth the effort to dispose of it and it acts as a buffer for my other books from falling over on one another

http://www.mystae.com/restricted/streams/scripts/necronomicon.htmlWhether correct or not, it should answer several of the honest or even dihonest questions people have asked, as to where the ideas came from for the necronomicon, and pretty much all of HPL's ideas. "Did some Mad Arab write it? Noo." Of course not. On the very first page of that link, it explains where the name of the arab came from! It also translates the meaning of mad, in arab, to make thing a little more clear for the Cthulhu and Necronomicon enthusiest. Enjoy!
