Title: Clearly Biased Review
Review: After twenty-five years, Simon re-emerges with a new work on the Necronomicon.The first section deals with the supposed history behind the Simon Necronomicon's appearance. Is it true? Perhaps, though I doubt Simon was really the model for Corso in THE NINTH GATE. Is it entertaining? Definitely.The second is an argument in favor of the Necronomicon's existence, which critiques its critics, including our book, THE NECRONOMICON FILES. I'd recommend that readers double-check what Simon says against other sources as much as possible. I've already found one talking point that originates in a roleplaying game, and another where the source Simon cites contradicts what he wrote. Even by occult trade paperback standards, the factual content is unimpressive.On a personal note, we are disappointed in Simon's showing, and are seriously considering whether he'll remain our literary arch-nemesis. It's like he just doesn't care.
Is the review positive or negative?
