A tongue-in-cheek “history” of the sinister book and its equally sinister author, Abdul Alhazred. HPL traces the book’s history from its writing in the eighth century to its translation into Greek, Latin, and other languages, stressing the rarity of surviving copies of any edition of the book. HPL drew up the history largely in order to be consistent in subsequent references to the tome in fiction.
