The Necronomicon is an ancient book of dark, necromantic magic by Abdul Alhazred and is the first book about the Elder Gods such as Cthulhu. It is nearly impossible to get an authentic copy of it today, since the dark powers described within the Necronomicon are so powerful that most people who try to find the Necronomicon die grisly deaths before their obsession with finding it is ever fulfilled.
