Necronomicon



well, as i see my life it's quite boring and that i have nothing better to say i will tell you about something i DO like... Yes, my dear, it's called "a book" from my inspiration and sick love "H.P Lovecraft"
full name: Howard Phillips Lovecraft

(August 20, 1890 – March 15, 1937) was an American author of horror, fantasy, and science fiction, especially the subgenre known as weird fiction.

Lovecraft's guiding literary principle was what he termed "cosmicism" or "cosmic horror", the idea that life is incomprehensible to human minds and that the universe is fundamentally alien. Those who genuinely reason, like his protagonists, gamble with sanity. As early as the 1940s, Lovecraft had developed a cult following for his Cthulhu Mythos, a series of loosely interconnected fiction featuring a pantheon of human-nullifying entities, as well as the Necronomicon, a fictional grimoire of magical rites and forbidden lore. His works were deeply pessimistic and cynical, challenging the values of the Enlightenment, Romanticism, and Christian humanism. Lovecraft's protagonists usually achieve the mirror-opposite of traditional gnosis and mysticism by momentarily glimpsing the horror of ultimate reality and the abyss.

Although Lovecraft's readership was limited during his life, his reputation has grown over the decades, and he is now regarded as one of the most influential horror writers of the 20th century. According to Joyce Carol Oates, Lovecraft — as with Edgar Allan Poe in the 19th century — has exerted "an incalculable influence on succeeding generations of writers of horror fiction".[3] Stephen King called Lovecraft "the twentieth century's greatest practitioner of the classic horror tale."

Now my dear that you "know" him i'll tell you... I LOVE ALL of his stories but the main.. MY SECRET LOVE it's called.."NECRONOMICON"


Necronomicon also known as "the book of the dead" (Lovecraft took the name from the Poeticon Astronomicon Book That i eventually will talk about it in this blog my children) written by the "mad man" Abdul Alhazred (actually a fiction name of lovecraft's Childhood) Tells us a story about a traveler in the desert and how that traveler tends to create you and then you'll end up realizing that the necronomicon it's a survival adventure before you die and all the things you NEED to know after you die, like.. "what would you do", "where are you going","what should you do", "what to ask","how to ask it"... etc. etc. The book tells us TONS of history, REAL history mostly about how the world was really created, by whom and.. well...in retrospective humans are only a crappy experiment made by creatures form another world. Even though the necronomicon also tells us true history about the world, some wars that really happened, To me it's like getting "national geographic - History Channel - Sci Fi Movies" all in one book, i just love it, and so everyone else with a hard stomach, an open mind and a mature-black sense of humor. means.. you'll love it too!.


so yes!, i DO love every thing else that H.P.Lovecraft has written, but i really think that The necronomicon was a master piece. and so.. my so boring day cames up with something good..."That is not dead which can eternal lie.And with strange aeons even death may die."
