Guest Black Aleph Posted June 26, 2006 Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 Donald Tyson, der schon das Necronomicon anpackte und die fiktive Geschichte von Abdul Al Hazred ausformulierte, hat sich jetzt der Geschichte dieses ominösen Schreibers des Necronomicons angenommen: http://www.amazon.de/exec/obidos/ASIN/0738708925/ref%3Dpe%5Fsnp%5F925/302-1745362-8390427http://www.amazon.de/exec/obidos/ASIN/0738708925/ref%3Dpe%5Fsnp%5F925/302-1745362-8390427 From Publishers WeeklyHaving already written a "translation" of H.P. Lovecraft's imaginary book of occult lore, the Necronomicon, Tyson (Necronomicon: The Wanderings of Alhazred) takes fictional homage one step further with this "autobiography" of the forbidden tome's author, the mad Arab Abdul Alhazred. Maimed and cast out into the desert for carnal indiscretions with the king's daughter, young Abdul takes up with a group of ghouls and travels to the fabled Nameless City. Under the tutelage of Nyarlathotep, the messenger of the monstrous Great Old Ones, he learns unspeakable necromantic secrets and has fantastic adventures based on Lovecraft's stories. This embellished Arabian Nights fantasy is targeted largely at Lovecraft fans, some of whom will likely balk at a pastiche nearly as long as Lovecraft's complete collected fiction.

SynopsisAfter being tortured, mutilated, and cast into the desert for falling in love with the king's daughter, Abdul, who is renamed Alhazred, begins his descent in wickedness, embarking on a quest to restore his body and reunite with his true love. By the author of Necronomicon. Original. 25,000 first printing. Zumindestens das letzte Buch war interressant.

Tom Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 Irgendwie klingt es gar schröcklich und überhaupt nicht kaufenswert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
