Necronomicon is a wonderful novel for those who appreciate the concept of a pure and suspenseful horror story. This, being the first of many Lovecraft novels I have read, has always been my favorite. This book is a great introduction to not only the writings of Lovecraft, but the mythos around it. If you dare to flirt with danger, and enjoy being chilled by the macabre you will throughly enjoy this book. Do be warned, when you read one Lovecraft story you will always be tempted to read another.
