As you no doubt know, March is National Necronomicon Month, and we would like volunteers to pass out Portions of the Sacred Text to shoppers at the Arkham Mall on Wednesday afternoon.

As a part of the festivities of Necronomicon Month, Latham Gilman, noted author and theologian, will lecture this Friday at the Hall of Dagon next door. The topic will be "The Necronomicon and Its Place in the Modern World". A slide show featuring the art of Diego Vasquez, the illustrator of the popular Book of Dead Names, the Necronomicon in Today's English Version, will accompany the talk. Free refreshments.
