"Dead Names: The Dark History of the Necronomicon" by Simon
"The dark history of the Necronomicon—one of the world's most feared and fascinating books—told by the one man who saw it all...and lived to tell the tale. The Necronomicon is one of the most controversial books ever published. The master of Gothic suspense, H.P. Lovecraft, wrote about a mystical and dreaded grimoire, known as the Necronomicon—an ancient text written by an Arab that, if it were to fall into the wrong hands, could have disastrous consequences.

A landmark study that presents sound analysis and treatment of this phenomenon, Entity Possession demystifies a topic that has long been overdramatized by the folklore surrounding possession and exorcism. Using actual case studies of the "hungry ghost"...>>
