Necronomicon: The Wanderings of Alhazred: 1

Tyson isn't the first writer to attempt a full 'translation' of the forbidden text, but his may be the most comprehensive. --Publishers Weekly

Descriptions of the lost city of R'lyeh, the ruins of Babylon, and other, stranger places blend with tales of monsters and demons, lies and truths. Occult nonfiction author Tyson remains true to Lovecraft's spirit in this tribute to a master of horror. --Library Journal

Tyson sets about 'expositing the ways of the dead.'...Here, Lovecraft's skin-crawling nonexistent tome is lifted from the mists of fantasy and loathsomely fleshed out by Tyson, famed dealer in magic and spells and scribe of much nonfiction on magic and the occult...Scholarly horror, marvelously illustrated. Or as Lovecraft, in a wild ecstasy that's quoted here, would praise it: Ph'nglui nigliv'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeb wgab'nagl fhtagn. Id! --Kirkus Reviews

This exhaustively researched volume reproduces and connects the details of the mytology originally created by the eldritch author. It addresses all of Lovecraft's references to the book and its fictional protagonist/writer, Arab scholar Abdul Alhazrerd, 'the mysterious Necromancer of Yemen. --Fangoria
