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.
The same naming format was used for the Ficlinomicon. (PROSE: Our Strange and Wonderful House: The Library)
