5.0 out of 5 stars
Wonderful fictional reference, September 22, 2002
This review is from: Ex Libris Miskatonici: A Catalogue of Selected Items from the Special Collections in the Miskatonici University Library (Cthulhu) (Paperback)
This heavily footnoted and well-researched (and inventive when need be) reference is a terrific guide to the pseudobiblia of the Cthulhu Mythos. Included are histories of the Pnakotic Manuscripts, Eltdown Shards, Celaeno Fragments, G'harne Fragments, Seven Cryptical Books of Hsan, Book of Dzyan, R'lyeh Text, Dhol Chants, Ponape Scripture, Codex Dagonensis, Cultes des Goules, De Vermis Mysteriis, Book of Eibon, Unaussprechlichen Kulten, and of course, the infamous Necronomicon, as well as the history of Miskatonic University's library. Great for major Mythos fans, though perhaps a bit much for those interested more in the mood than the Mythos itself. Highly recommended!
