The Book of the Arab

The Necronomicon first came to the attention of the American public through the writings H.P. Lovecraft. Lovecraft makes his readers aware of this notorious book in The Hound in 1922. However, it was in The Nameless City that Lovecraft mentions the Necronomicon’s mysterious author Abdul Alhazred the “Mad Arab.” Lovecraft revealed little about the life and times Alhazred. This book picks up on Lovecraft’s reference to Alhazred and makes the perilous journey to substantiate the validity of the Necronomicon.
