The Necronomicon

The mysterious and forbidden Necronomicon is a cursed writing of arcane knowledge, forbidden magic and knowledge of dangerous things whose reading provokes madness and death itself. In addition, the book itself has a record of forgotten phrases and incantations that allow contact with beings of inconceivable power, but at the same time it entails an unimaginably horrifying danger to mention them. In short, it is the blasphemy of life. It seemed to be a rumor, but one of the few surviving editions was discovered in 1845 in the desert near Babylon in the caves of Larbit where a remnant of King Ashurbanipal's descendants had been buried. The Necronomicon was written in the ancient city of Damascus by the Arab poet Abdul Al-Hazred according to dates between 730 AD, and it is rumored that he died dismembered and his bones broken into a thousand pieces by an unknown being. Like all those who came in contact with the blasphemies and curses of this noxious book suffered similar fates; mysterious deaths of a cruel and indescribable horror. If you are of a curious spirit, I advise you for your own sake; that you dare not read this book, for if you should do so, only one thing I can tell you as a consolation and assurance: "That death you will never meet it before the horror that awaits you..."
