The Secret History of the Necronomicon 💀 scary.co

In The Secret History of the Necronomicon, Arkay Tilghman explores the H.P. Lovecraft's mysterious and controversial work. First, he travels to Egypt, exploring a time and texts which contributed to Alhazred's work. Then, he moves to the time of Alhazred and how the Templars brought Al Azif from Constantinople into Europe proper. Next, we learn more about the translations of Dr. Dee and Wormius and why Dee's version was not published in his lifetime. Crossing the Atlantic, he uncovers stories of the Necronomicon in the New World. After a chapter dealing specifically with Lovecraft, Tilghman writs about the Necronomicon today and why we're unlikely to see and digitized versions of the rare text.From the Introduction: Writer Howard Phillips Lovecraft was born in 1890. When he was just three years old, his father was institutionalized for syphalitic insanity. From then on, young Lovecraft and his mother lived with her father, Whipple Phillips. The child was a voracious reader, an attentive scholar of his grandfather's friends, a delicate soul, and a dreamer. Even as a boy, he wrote stories of fantasy and horror.When young Lovecraft reached adulthood, he wrote the now-famous stories which many of us to a terrifying world that was right here with us. We didn't have to travel to Mars or some made-up world to be horrified by giant beings seeking our destruction. They didn't arrive on space ships, they'd been sleeping here all along.In particular, Lovecraft's stories introduced us to a mysterious work called the "Necronomicon." It was written, so he said, by a "mad Arab" named Abdul Alhazred. It contained the secrets of Elder Gods and terrifying beings. It detailed blasphemous rites. Reading it might make a man go mad--or give him the keys to prevent evil from being released on the planet.The Necronomicon has been a subject of much controversy for nearly 100 years now. Did Lovecraft invent it wholecloth? Or does it have a broader historical background? In this book, I lay out the Secret History of the Necronomicon and attempt to explain some of the confusion and controversy surrounding how it was handled in Lovecraft's stories.
