I was surfing the web and found this link:
http://www.guildofsorcery.com/essays/the_validity_of_the_necronomicon/index.html
Thought he had a point here:
BUTÂ… is it Lovecraft's Necronomicon? NO!
What it is, is a book that has a usable system of Occultism within
itself but is merely called The Necronomicon by a dead businessman as
a way of marketing the book! Now genius, do you see what I've been
building up to all this time? Stop your damn shouting about its
validity!
It is NOT a book of fake magic nor is it an unusable system! It is
modern grimoire penned by Slater and (most likely) several of his
cronies to make a buck or two. But he did know enough about Ritual
Magic to make it a workable system. THAT, my friend, is exactly what
it IS!

At least the guy's not saying it is the genuine work of Lovecraft.
What do you think?
