The best Necronomicon hoax outthere ( in my opinion ) is "The Necronomicon
- The Book Of Dead Names, edited by George Hay, with an introduction by
Colin Wilson." It's published by Skoob esoterica, ISBN 1871438160, first
published in Great Britain in 1978. Colin Wilson late wrote an essay on the
hoax ( which appeared in Crypt Of Cthulhu #?, and Black Forbidden Things ).
It's a great book! Not at all like the cheap Necronomicon paperback
spellbook everyone is familiar with. If you didn't know it was a hoax, it
could keep you guessing. Worth picking up.
