Necronomicon

The Necronomicon was a tome of eldritch lore.

The Doctor Know who came to reside in the 925th Universe once claimed that he had co-written the Necronomicon. (PROSE: Good Crieff - The Tribulations of the Scottish Division) He also edited a much less foreboding book called Necronomics for Dummies. (PROSE: Open Sourcing, Good Crieff - The Tribulations of the Scottish Division)

Behind the scenes

The Necronomicon is a recurring, public-domain element of the Lovecraftian mythos, introduced in Lovecraft's own 1924 short story The Hound; it is a dangerous tome containing information on various eldritch abominations and the means of summoning them. Variations of the book were soon quoted, or appeared physically, in the narratives of many other stories, having gradually become a pop-culture staple.

My Bloody Valentine, one of the earliest Jenny Everywhere stories, introduced the Plasmanomicon, a clear take-off on the Necronomicon. Although not officially open-source, the book has been referenced in many subsequent stories.
