The Necronomicon
Download Free (EPUB, PDF)

In the past 31 years, there has been a lot of ink—actual and virtual—spilled on the subject of the Necronomicon. Some have derided it as a clumsy hoax; others have praised it as a powerful grimoire. As the decades have passed, more information has come to light both on the book's origins and discovery, and on the information contained within its pages. The Necronomicon has been found to contain formula for spiritual trans-formation, consistent with some of the most ancient mystical processes in the world, processes that were not public knowledge when the book was first published, processes that involve communion with the stars.In spite of all the controversy, the first edition sold out before it was published. And it has never been out of print since then. This year, the original designer of the 1977 edition and the original editor have joined forces to present a new, deluxe hardcover edition of the most feared, most reviled, and most desired occult book on the planet.

This book hasn't seen an authorized hard cover printing since 1981 so this beautiful new edition from Ibis is most welcome. Everything about this book screams quality. It is bound in heavy black cloth and the front cover and spine feature deep foil stamping in silver. The NECRONOMICON seal is featured on the front of this edition but the Elder sign, Covenant sign and Watcher sign are ommited this time, making this the first hardcover printing not to feature the seal in it's component parts. Endpapers are heavy black and laid in well. The printing quality is first rate and all designs and seals are impeccably reproduced here. The pagination is the same as all previous editions (including the Avon printings). The paper is heavy, acid free, and has a bit of gloss. The book has a sewn binding and black ribbon book marker. It is an oversized volume and is rather heavy to lift. While it dosen't quite approach the world's most evil coffee table book size, it is considerably larger than the average hard cover. This is a very well produced book and worth the price being asked here on .All though this is noted as being a revised edition, the only new inclusion I spotted was yet another introduction from Simon. All (three!) previous introductions are also included here as well as the pronunciation guide, additions to the 777 tables etc. All texts appear in this volume exactly as they have in every other edition starting (and ending) with the testimomy and continuing to the attributes of the Zonei, Entrance, Gates, MAKLU text, 50 names, MAGAN and URILLA texts etc. It's all here and all very well presented. Some of the interior art designs have been modified (not the sigals of course) giving the book a more subdued feel.
