# it's a Cthulhu thing
The Necronomicon is an ancient book, the reading of which is prone to turn the reader insane

# Not just Cthulhu...
...the Necronomicon is the usual term for the "anti-bible", or "book of the dead" (in Evil Dead for example)

why is everything evil so hard to spell?

# I learned something too!!
And I told you ass! ;-)

(From www.ping.de/sites/systemcoder/necro/info/faq3.htm)

When we then turn to the text referred to as The Necronomicon by H.P. Lovecraft, we are hard-pressed to render a 'verdict' as to its legitimacy. If indeed the text preceded Lovecraft, then this does not guarantee that it has come down to us unedited. If the idea and title were used by Lovecraft as a result of suggestions from others without an extent text, then perhaps its 'source consciousness' hid the text until a later time. If Lovecraft fabricated even the IDEA of the tome along with its title, then perhaps he was simply a 'third party' to a state of consciousness which we may never assess.

You were right...it was Lovecraft who coined the term...

Hehehe

# the ancient book of the dead or some such like
Ask a teenager wearing far too much black make up, and I'm sure they'll explain all about it.
