Summary

The Necronomicon was not the first book by H.P. Lovecraft to terrify readers with tales of dark and twisted horrors from beyond. No, the Al-Azif, or Book of the Insect, is the first work that told mankind of Cthulhu, Azathoth, and other terrors. Indeed, it was the book that inspired "The Mad Arab" Abdul Al-Hazred to write its more famous successor.

Join us for a collection of novellas written by some of the best Neo-Lovecraftian authors today: Matthew Davenport (Andrew Doran, The Trials of Obed Marsh), David Hambling (Harry Stubbs, The Dulwich Horror), David J. West (Porter Rockwell, Redneck Eldritch), David Niall Wilson (The Call of Distant Shores), and C. T. Phipps (Cthulhu Armageddon) in telling stories of this mysterious book.

Find out where the nightmares began!

Great concept, great stories

The Al Azif gets a mention by Lovecraft and is then presented here is a series of stories about that book. Great and enjoyable stories. Great reading. I am glad I bought it.

““Jesus f***ing Christ on a popsicle stick”

I wasn’t sure what to expect from this book but I took a chance and I’m really glad I did!
A good, solid mix of stories from different authors, all of which are good and I’ll definitely be looking out for some of them again!
Amazing narration; I was even convinced it was different narrators for a while as the books are read in completely different voices! Brilliantly done.
This is my honest opinion on a free review copy.
