The Necromonicon

Sez here in the Necromonicon.

Who wrote that?

An ancient Arab, fourteenth century scholar…

Who was in contact with Belzeebub?

With the conversation proceeding along the following lines, the Commissioner was – in spite of his better judgement – prepared to stick it out.

Legend has it he was sent by the King of the Assassins.

And Lovecraft knew that?

He did. At least he must have intuited it. For there is no evidence he actually read the Necromonicon. But it was so that he envisioned the tupla.

You are saying he conjured it from the book?

I am saying Lovecraft made the tupla come alive for literature.

Fair dinkum.
