Publisher's Synopsis
The legendary Necronomicon, the accursed Book of Eibon, the mouldering De Vermis Mysteriis, the blasphemous Cultes des Ghoules... What fan of the "eldritch and abominable" tales of American weird-fiction master Howard Phillips Lovecraft has not dreamed of obtaining at least a quick glimpse into the pages of these Forbidden Tomes of Dark Wisdom and Secret Knowledge so tantalizingly described in Lovecraft's writings? Unfortunately for our curiosity (though perhaps fortunately for our souls and our sanity) these terrifying volumes were only fictional creations conjured forth from the sorcerous imaginations of "H.P.L." (as he was often known) and his small but legendary literary circle. All is not lost, however, for those who would delve into the rare and forbidden volumes of Lovecraft's world. For, mentioned alongside the Necronomicon and its unholy brethren were such rare and fabulous titles as the Daemonolatreia of Remigius, Cotton Mather's Wonders of the Invisible World, and the Saducismus Triumphatus of Joseph Glanvill, to name but a few. And, unlike the previously mentioned fictional tomes, these authentic volumes do exist. Now for the first time in a single volume the research of author T. L. Roy provides readers with a look inside these legendary "Forbidden Tomes" from the Lovecraftian Library."
