The Necronomicon: Locations?
According to H.P. Lovecraft’s fictional history of the Necronomicon, that was published after his death, there were only five specific and reliable locations in which the Necronomicon could be found. These are listed below; however, if you do go looking, and happen to find something wicked, sinister, and in a language you can’t understand, put it back on the shelf, and walk away. It was probably just a Greek cookbook anyway, right?
Necronomicon Locations:
The British Museum – Located in London, England, on Great Russel Street, the British Museum houses and contains over thirteen million artifacts, with no doubt millions more locked away in storage. Could the Necronomicon be among these millions of dusty archaeological finds?
Bibliothèque nationale de France – Otherwise known as The National Library of France, and is a major center of the planet, with thirteen million books on its shelves, and perhaps just as many others rotting away in old crates beneath the foundations. Is the Necronomicon disguised somewhere on the shelves of France’s National Library, disguised with an innocuous title? It could take a lifetime to find out.
Widener Library of Harvard University – Located in Cambridge, Massachusetts, the Widener Library boasts a selection of almost sixteen millions books, and is known as the largest university library system in the world. If the Necronomicon were resting somewhere within, –on one of fifty-seven miles length of shelves, would it take a lifetime and a half to discover its location in this enormous building?
The University of Buenos Aires – Not known for much else, besides being the largest university in Argentina, any book somehow located in the university would be impossible to find. –There are over thirteen massive faculties, and several more huge classroom locations, most of which are very, very old. If the process of locating the Necronomicon is measured by lifetimes, to search this school for such a book would take at least four generations.
Miskatonic University Library – A fictional university, located in the also fiction town of Arkham, Massachusetts, –we’ll never know if there ever truly was a copy of the Necronomicon here or not.
