"History of the Necronomicon" is a short text written by H. P. Lovecraft in 1927, and published in 1938. It describes the origins of the fictional book of the same name: the occult grimoire Necronomicon, a now-famous element of some of his stories. The short text purports to be non-fiction, adding to the appearance of "pseudo-authenticity" which Lovecraft valued in building his Cthulhu Mythos oeuvre. Accordingly, it supposes the history of the Necronomicon as the inspiration for Robert W. Chambers' The King in Yellow, which concerns a book that overthrows the minds of those who read it.

  • Histoire du Necronomicon (History of the Necronomicon) est un court texte écrit par H. P. Lovecraft en 1927, et publié en 1938, un an après sa mort. Il décrit les origines du grimoire occulte imaginaire appelé Necronomicon, un outil littéraire de Lovecraft désormais célèbre. Le texte prétend être véridique, ajoutant pour l'apparence de « pseudo-authenticité » que Lovecraft l'a utilisé pour la construction de son mythe de Cthulhu. De plus, il prétend que le Necronomicon a servi d'inspiration à Robert W. Chambers pour son recueil de nouvelles Le Roi en jaune, qui porte justement sur un livre qui bouleverse l'esprit de ceux qui le lisent. (fr)
