"There is a race", says occultist Robert Turner, "that rides curiously in tandem with humanity, a shadow, an intense and inseparable Mr. Hyde'". So begins this presentation of the freshly deciphered text of the magical grimoire known as The Necronomicon. It pulls the reader into a darkly ambiguous reality, where there are instructions for calling up potent entities -- but nothing to reveal their intentions toward us. Must reading for anyone interested in the occult.
