"...the Necronomicon, a highly secret magical text released in paperback." - William S. Burroughs.

This symbol, called the Necronomicon gate, or the "gate of Yog-Sohoth," is a false sigil usually found on the cover of an edition of the legendary and quite fake "Necronomicon," a falsified grimoire based on the work of horror fiction writer H. P. Lovecraft. For a more detailed look at this fabled work, see: Necronomicon, truth or fiction?
