Necronomicon in the news

By trollboy Published June 5, 2001

The Necronomicon was in the news recently, it appears some looney’s thought it was a real book again and were doing the whole sacrifice to satan thing again.  The funny thing is that kills me, is that so many people believe its real.  It almost reminds me of a virus hoax e-mail.

Remains of their cyclopean cities and forbidden knowledge can still be found in the remote extremes of our planet. Upon uncharted islands, within

dark ocean depths, under burning desert sands, locked within polar ice, miles below the Earth’s crust, they lay imprisoned. But when the Stars are right they will awaken and walk this earth once more. Continue reading »
