no, the necronomicon is nothing to do with lovecraft, its based on the sumerian religion, which is what Alestor Crowley practiced, a form of black magic if you will. lovecrafts Chuthulu mythos is based on the necronomicon which is pretty much the godfather of spellbooks
That Necronomicon was written in the 1970's, quite some time after Lovecraft. But apparently Lovecraft did create the name "Necronomicon."
/e But I still might look into it.
