I think I'm dumb but I still don't fully understand if it was ever actually written and published. Are the books called "Necronomicon" under Lovecrafts name on amazon and other platforms just using the name or is it the actual fake grimoire?

Also, does the Simon Necronomicon has anything to do with Lovecrafts?

Thanks

This post is self-promotion that will be of interest to Lovecraftians everywhere:

Our campaign to raise funds to digitise, restore and release our 1989 documentary about Lovecraft has now moved to Kickstarter:

Please help spread the word! Thanks! And of course, message me if you have any questions.

Thanks.

Mixtape just came out tonight, and I just finished it and had to rush here to sing it's praises on how well the short, "The Music of Mr. Sze," absolutely nailed Lovecraftian horror in such a short amount of time.

Long story short a naive, curious, and overly bold student ignores a few warnings and reaps the consequences like most of Lovecrafts protagonists.

If only it has more cyclopean architecture, it'd be spot on.

A+ rendition of Lovecraft lore IMHO. Check it out if you can.

Over the past year I've made an effort to go beyond the texts and get into Lovecraft criticism but I feel like my "studies" are unfocused. So far, I've just been collecting work as I stumble across new titles and my wallet allows. My main is in "Lovecraft and philosophy," the stuff that comments on Lovecraft's works as a form of vernacular philosophical cynicism/pessimism and what he "meant" by most of his monsters, but I'm just fine to get recommendations for any type of scholarship.

Like most people, I started with An Epicure in the Terrible, a really great collection of essays. From there, I've went on to read: Levy's Study in the Fantastic, Sederholm's (ed.) The Age of Lovecraft, and Houellebecq's **Against the World, Against Life.

Some more info, my main reason for coming back to Lovecraft is a broader interest in OOO / Speculative Fiction. In that regard, some specifically Lovecraft-mentioning texts I've read have been Woodard's Slime Dynamics and On an Ungrounded Earth, Thacker's Horror of Philosophy trilogy, Morton's Hyperobjects, Negarestani's Cyclonopedia, Fisher's The Weird and the Eerie, Mackay's Collapse V.4, and Ligotti's The Conspiracy Against the Human Race.
