Books

Speaking of good authors, Is anyone into H.P Lovecraft? " Blood
Curdling Tales of Horror And The Maccabre" is Pretty interesting
writing. Also Brian Lumley's Necroscope series was good as well. Of
course Stephen King is always excellent. Out of all of them which do
you guys like. I like Lovecrafts mind boggling imagination, I'm sure
opium paved the way to the Necronomicon, hard to beleive that so many
people fell and still fall for that one. I heard that Lovecraft himself
admitted that it was false.

that didn't stop several people doing versions of books which either claimed
to *be* the Necronomicon or claimed to at least *look* like it (H.R.Giger,
Phillipe Druillet, etc).

i loved the way Lovecraft could spew out great long cascades of prose that
was so purple it was practically in the ultraviolet spectrum.

incidentally. i mentioned this idea over in alt.tasteless and got a fairly
lukewarm response...

allow me to start from the start. i was out driving in my VW and was passed
by a panel-van filled with fundamentalists of some stripe. they hooted and
waved copies of the bible at me (probably in response to a home-made bumper
sticker on my car that reads "I drink blood, and I vote").

right then, i wished i had a book i could wave back at them. if they were
waving the Good Book at me... then i wanted (still want) to wave The Bad
Book back at them. the Necronomicon would be a good idea. someone in
alt.tasteless suggested Anton LaVey's Satanic Bible, but i want something
with original filth. if you want a good example of what i'm looking for, go
to a search engine and do a search for "green demon asshole".

if anyone in here would like to collaborate on a modern Bad Book, email me.
