The book is mentioned in
H. P. Lovecraft's short story "
The Festival": "Pointing to a chair, table, and pile of books, the old man now left the room; and when I sat down to read I saw that the books were hoary and mouldy, and that they included old Morryster's wild
Marvells of Science, the terrible
Saducismus Triumphatus of Joseph Glanvill, published in 1681, the shocking
Daemonolatreia of
Remigius, printed in 1595 at Lyons, and worst of all, the unmentionable
Necronomicon of the mad Arab Abdul Alhazred, in
Olaus Wormius' forbidden Latin translation; a book which I had never seen, but of which I had heard monstrous things whispered." The book was also seen in
season 1 episode 2 'The Stone Child', of the
WGN America television series
Salem, when Cotton Mather (
Seth Gabel) consults the book while he is talking to John Alden (
Shane West) about him witnessing a Witches Sabbath. ==See also==
