SynopsisH. P. Lovecraft''s compelling character, Abdul Alhazred, is brought to life in this epic tale detailing the mad sorcerer''s tragic history and magical adventures. Alhazred tells his own life story, beginning with himself as a poor, handsome boy in Yemen who attracts the attention of the king for his divine skill in poetry. As the court poet, young Abdul lives a luxurious life at the palace, where he studies necromancy and magic. But falling in love with the king''s daughter leads to a foolish tryst, which is ultimately discovered. As punishment, Abdul is tortured, brutally mutilated, and cast into the desert, known as the Empty Space. Battling insanity, he joins a tribe of ghouls and learns forbidden secrets from a stranger called Nyarlathotep. Thus begins his downward spiral into wickedness. Renamed Alhazred, he escapes the desert and embarks on a quest to restore his body and reunite with his true love.

  • The book that started it all revealed.

    Honestly I haven't read it yet but I have thumbed through it and have read other reviews. It has been reprinted several times which indicates a good book. It is a blow by blow story behind the development of The Necronomicon by the mad Arab Abdul Alhazred, the book from which all things Cthulhu spring.
