Necronomicon book - Flame Tree Publishing

Necronomicon – The Book of the Dead – what horrors lurk inside, whispering ominously as secrets attempt to escape... The master of weird horror, H.P. Lovecraft, famously mentioned the mysterious fictional Necronomicon in some of his stories, with no more than a few enigmatic references to it, inspiring other authors, such as August Derleth, to incorporate the grimoire into their own works. Thus, this infamous book, containing arcane texts and tales of dreadful gods that haunt the works of these writers, began to take on a life of its own. In this exciting new book, a powerful text describes how this dangerous book has influenced fantasy art, literature, and films, accompanied by extraordinarily atmospheric artworks.

Unique titles and a wide range of authors are the hallmark of Flame Tree Publishing.
