    <body><![CDATA[Harms and Gonce have put together one of the best researched tomes on the Necronomicon that I have found. It covers the Cthulu inspired mythos from H.P. Lovecraft to its uses by Aleister Crowley and other occultists. <br/><br/>It digs into the many frauds (e.g. the &quot;Simon&quot; Necronomicon) their creation, propogation and impact. The book is peppered with dry yet witty comments from the authors that at times border on hysterical. The material covers not only the Necronomicon but deconstructs appearances in the movies, books, television, and other media. A must for any fan of Lovecraft and the researcher who wants to understand how the various &quot;Necronomicons&quot; materialized from the original Lovecraft fiction.]]></body>
