If, as you claim, "...reading page 305 is perfectly safe...", then why the
indemnity disclaimer on the copyright page?!?

For those not fortunate enough to already have a copy of this book, I quote:

"The authors and Red Wheel/Weiser assume no liability for damages resulting
from the use of information or instructions contained herein."

Are you possibly worried that someone is going to botch one of the
invocations and call up Cthulhu when they really meant to call up
Yog-Sothoth, and then turn around and sue the authors and/or publishers
because their house was destroyed by a rampaging Elder God?

Does homeowners insurance even cover damage caused by Acts of Elder Gods?

I guess I had never considered the Goetic implications of product liability
law before...you just can't be too careful these days.

The Necronomicon - one of the most quietly influential literary hoaxes
of the twentieth century. Most Lovecraft fans have been involved in a
Necronomicon debate, or met those who think "it's all real!" People
won't stop talking about it, but those debates never seem to go
anywhere.
Until now, that is.
The Necronomicon Files by Daniel Harms and John Wisdom Gonce III is a
new book from Weiser. Movies and magick, horror and humor, mythology
and murder - all of these come together in The Necronomicon Files.
Painstakingly researched, the original hardcover edition sells for
hundreds of dollars. Now you can pick up the revised version for
$26.95 at your local bookstore.
