The Necronomicon

The unedited copy of this book can be found at the Massachusetts’ Miskatonic University.
The Orphan’s Story
This book was written between 1608 and 1615 by a monk named Martin de Leon y Cardenas. Cardenas had broken his sacred vow then proceeded to write this story about a Spaniard on a journey for fortune. The mysterious thing about the book lied in its publication. Since it was written, nobody had been able to publish it, up until last year.

The Book of the Sacred Magic of Abramelin the Mage

The Codex Gigas
Also referred to the “Devil’s Bible”, this book dates back to the 12th century. It has a compelling story behind its origins. The book is said to have been written by a monk who broke his vows. For breaking the sacred vows, the monk was sentenced to die in an enclosed tomb. The night before he died, he started writing down all he knew about humanity in a book. His writing was a race against time and when he realized that he couldn’t do it in time; he invited Lucifer to help him complete the book in exchange for his soul. According to the legend, the Devil agreed to the wager and completed the book for the monk. Making the book full of dark rituals, images of demons and even the devil.
