i recently aquired a copy of Donald Tyson's Necronomicon. Outright,
it's a nice "travelogue" through the Lovecraft-Tysonian (hehe) mythos
current. It's pretty explicit as being one of the best works on
necromancy.
I'd wager to say that if done right it could work. I got bugs
chittering outside right now. Of course my kind isn't supposed to
venture into the dark spaces without skepticism and cyncial pragmatism
as a weapon, so for now I just view it as a pretty, if plausible,
story.
I outright deny any attempt on the "rationality" of this subject, as
"rationality" is just ONE, though very VALUABLE, aspect of this
multiply extended smooth/striated existence of mine/ours.
