9780738706276 - Necronomicon: The Wanderings of Alhazred (Necronomicon Series) by Donald Tyson
This book is the first time to my knowledge that the story and contents behind the Necronomicon a book referenced to and alluded in many stories is fully fleshed out. It follows the life and travels of the Necromancer Alhazred, and through this narrative it touches upon every important point and character in the mythos. From detailed descriptions and spheres of influence of each Elder God, to some fascinating background and history on esoteric and mystical locations in our world and beyond, this book is a great companion for any aspiring fan.
I really enjoyed how this book replicates the mood and atmosphere of the mythos, while reading this book you will be disturbed, and very creeped out. That sense of dread and foreboding is what makes the mythos so much fun, it literally creeps into a primal fear inside us, which is in my opinion what great horror should inspire to do.
If you're new to the mythos, or a long time fan, this book is a must read and will not disappoint.

I loved the way the book was organized as a sort of travel guide crossed with a narrative; as I read, I felt as though I was right there with Alhazred, and also as though I could go to the places described, see the shocking and wonderous sites depicted, and do these shocking, fascinating and monumental things if I so desired. This fascination, coupled with the v Fantastically dark and thrilling! This fascination, coupled with the very casual way in which various atrocities are treated such as human sacrifice, torture, cannibalism, etc , and indeed the very casual way the wonderous aspects of the journey are treated, project a feeling of conspiracy, as though you're being let in on arcane secrets.
Basically, if you let yourself get drawn into the book, it's a wild and chilling ride for the imagination. Fans of Lovecraft's stories will particularly enjoy it, but even someone who's never read Lovecraft could have a great time with this book! Jun 05, Peter rated it liked it Shelves: To see with mine own eyes the change from its glossy wetness to a satin finish, its heady vapours clouded my mind. EE-YAI the second coat is done. What is this afore me, a fair maiden stands with paint for the bathroooooom, aaaaaaaaah.
Really the occult section? Upon its back it is listed as occult and paraded as such, shame on you llewelyn this is bad fan fiction. Dec 23, Amanda rated it really liked it Shelves: A rather nice approximation of material that might be found within the Necronomicon. For my tastes, it was a bit light, seemingly written by a polite cannibal rather than a maddened necromancer, but a very nice addition to any Lovecraft fan's library.

Jun 16, Jake rated it really liked it. Some parts were really interesting, others read too much like source material for a role playing game. In the end I kept my sanity, and that is not a good thing. It's really good for what it is, but the man isn't Lovecraft and anybody expecting Lovecraft is going to be let down.

Lovecraft and doesn't disappoint as an interesting, fictional story about the journey of the "Mad Arab" as he travels through the middle eastern desert in search of esoteric, magical knowledge.

The tale, while a little hard to read at some times, is fairly entertaining and a good read for anyone wanting to read something strange and unusual. Nov 14, Mellissa rated it really liked it. As others have said, if you enjoy Lovecraft's works, the Cthulu mythos, or general varying mythologies, you may like this. It wasn't a difficult read, but it was a bit slow. It's a journey, but not a story. With the small stories throughout it was still more about providing information.
I did enjoy it though, and I may not read it cover to cover again, but will grab it off the shelf now, and again to reread some of my favorite bits. A fictional representation of what the Necronomicon was This was an interesting boo, but over-long. Sep 24, John R.
