One of the best-known modern occult grimoires, Necronomicon presents a ritual system drawing on Mesopotamian mythology and ceremonial magic while deliberately invoking the fictional forbidden book created by H. P. Lovecraft. Published under the name Simon, it became a cult text in modern occult and countercultural circles.

This vintage Avon edition will particularly appeal to readers interested in ritual magic, grimoires, Lovecraftian occultism and twentieth-century esoteric publishing.
