DIY Necronomicon

“That which is dead cannot die..”
Ah, yes, my old favorite H.P. Lovecraft and his infamous The Call of Cthulhu where the infamous Necronomicon was first “discovered”. Alas, there are some things that man was not meant to know, but, still, should that keep one from having a fun, little prop just in time for Halloween? I don’t think so! And neither do the fine folks over at Ravensblight.com who bring you Necronomicon Notebooks.
Now you, too, can have that unspeakable tome at your side to greet trick-or-treat-ers.

Hey, it’s the Friday before Halloween, what did you expect from me?

  1. Nice…
    Wouldn’t my wife be suprised if I brought a few of these home for the kids to color in preparation for All Hallows Eve. I once painted one of the talismans from Necronomicon inside the closet of an aparment…in red paint of course. I’m sure the landlord loved finding that one…bwahaha.

    I became enamoured of Mr. Lovecraft as a kid..maybe 10. My dad used to read me short stories from a big compilation he got somewhere. It had “The Music of Erich Zann” in it. If you’ve never read that one, find it. Quite haunting. This could explain much about me…
