The Book of the Arab follows the elusive trail of the Necronomicon from its beginning in 730 A.D., when it was written by Abdul Alhazred, the "Mad Arab," in Damascus. The Book of the Arab was originally first published by Starry Wisdom Press in 1979. It was quickly suppressed by groups seeking to keep the Necronomicon hidden. This book makes a bold attempt to ascertain the current whereabouts of the Necronomicon based on its printing history. Anyone with an interest in black magick will appreciate this examination of the most notorious grimoire of all time. Be warned that the Necronomicon is an instrument of evil that leads to death and destruction.
