1.
A fictional grimoire of arcane and forbidden knowledge whose contents can drive a person mad.
2004, Stephen Prince, The Horror Film, page 172, Death Scenes is introduced and narrated by the famous occultist and leader of the Church of Satan, Dr. Anton Szandor LaVey, who describes the film in his wandering introduction as "a road map featuring the many avenues by which we encounter death . . . a brutally graphic collection of horrid indiscretions, a true necronomicon." "What mysterious force draws us to such a dark, challenging subject?" inquires LaVey in his sardonic monotone.
词源
Pseudo-loan from Ancient Greek, derived from νεκρός (nekrós, “dead”) + νόμος (nómos, “law”) + εἰκών (eikṓn, “image”), literally “an image of the law of the dead”. Coined by American writer H. P. Lovecraft. By surface analysis, necro- + -nomicon.
