History of the Necronomicon by H. P. Lovecraft

HISTORY OF THE NECRONOMICON was written in 1927 but remained unpublished until 1938, a year after Lovecraft’s death, when it appeared in Leaves, a publication by Rebel Press. Presented as a scholarly account, this short pseudo-historical essay outlines the origins and fate of the infamous Necronomicon, the fictional grimoire frequently referenced in Lovecraft’s Cthulhu Mythos.
