Title: Long winded breath from hell...
Review: Ok, I admit it. I am a Necronomicon junkie. I have them all. The Simon, Tyson, Hay, De Camp, even a couple 'Pulp" fanzine style versions. I love it. The legnths people will go to to line my shelves with as many copies of a book that never existed. Well, until now. Sweet.Anyhoot, The Hay version of the Nec is not one of the better ones. Although it is famous, there is precious little Necronomicon in this Necronomicon. The loin's share of this book is devoted to Colin Wilson's rambling indignation of Lovecraft and his oh-so-interesting-if-you-are-a-dry-british-critic story about how he came upon this vile volume. The basic premis of Wilson is this;Lovecraft was such a hack writer with so little imagination or talent that he could not possibly have made it up. Therefore, it is real.Yep, that's it folks. That's the big secret!Damn you, Colin Wilson, for insulting H.P.! Maybe i'll go send one of the demons from the Simon version to harrass him.
