Devil's Advocate
Yes, for the record, the _Necronomicon_ is bogus. It is a bastardization of Sumer-Babylonian mythology twisted by the nightmares and imagination of Lovecraft combined with a knowledge of magick ritual and structure as well as a bit of tongue-n-cheek. A magnificent demonstration of the power of the imagination. Beware lest in the dark of night you too hear the call of Cthulu. All in all, reality /is/ in the mind of the beholder.
