[QUOTE]Originally posted by First of Two: [QB] What you saw in the bookstore, if it was a Waldenbooks or similar establishment, was most likely the Necronimicon which is a book based largely on the writings of H.P. Lovecraft, famed early 20th-century horror writer. THAT Necronomicon contains mostly elaborations on Lovecraft's largely fictional works, along with apocryphal info that the authors were able to scrabble together from myths and legends, and is often displayed on the shelves of wanna-bes to scare people with less knowledge. Some people maintain, however, that Lovecraft's work did not come solely from his own mind, but was based partly on writings in an ACTUAL "Necronomicon"-type book, although likely not known by that name and almost certainly not available in your corner bookstore. If this were true, than the Necronomicon you saw could be a "bad vibe" carrier, by association. Of course, then all of Lovecraft's other works should also make you feel similarly "bad." On the other hand, if you saw this book in an antiquities shop, and if its copyright date (if it had one) was earlier than 1930... I wouldn't touch it, either. [/QB][/QUOTE]
