The Simon Necronomicon  (Paperback, unknown)

The Simon Necronomicon is a book written by an unknown author under the pseudonym "Simon" and published in 1977. It claims to be a genuine translation of the mythical Necronomicon, containing rituals, incantations, and summoning spells for contacting ancient entities. The book gained popularity among enthusiasts of Lovecraftian fiction and occultism, sparking controversy and debate within various esoteric communities. It's important to emphasize that the Simon Necronomicon is a work of fiction and not an authentic historical or occult text. While it presents itself as a genuine grimoire, its contents are entirely the creation of its modern author, inspired by Lovecraft's writings. Despite its fictional nature, the Simon Necronomicon has found a niche audience within the occult and Lovecraftian communities. Some practitioners incorporate elements from the book into their rituals and magical practices as part of a personal belief system or as a form of creative inspiration.
