"You who would learn the wisdom of hidden things and traverse the avenues of shadow beneath the stars, heed this song of pain that was chanted by one who went unseen before you that you may follow the singing of his voice across the windblown sands that obscure the marks of his feet."

-Necronomicon: The Wanderings of Alhazred

What strange secrets lurk inside the Tyson Necronomicon? It proudly proclaims itself to be "fictional" and based purely on the work of Lovecraft but what does this mean exactly?

The main problem that confronts a student of The Revelations of Glaaki is not the extreme scarcity of copies, but rather the corruption of the text in the oft-cited (though still extremely rare) Golden Goblin edition of the work.  It is very fortunate, then, that noted scholar Antonius Quine has issued his own edition of this very unique tome, published by the prestigious Standish Press. 

Essentially, this is a story about patriotism. And, obviously, a little snub against America getting a little over-zealous on the war path these days. Then there's also some monsters/fallen angels/dragons thrown in for good measure.

As for An Tenebrae Dubh... He's whoever you want Him to be. 

Enjoy.
