About this listen

 Part forbidden tome, part literary invention, the Necronomicon has haunted the worlds of horror, conspiracy, and occult lore for nearly a century. Born from the imagination of writer H. P. Lovecraft, this so-called “book of the dead” has taken on a life of its own — inspiring hoaxes, movie props, and genuine occult practices. In this episode of The History Of, we explore the origins of the Necronomicon, how fiction blurred into “fact,” and why people still want to believe in a book that was never meant to exist.

New Episodes: Mon/Wed/Fri

The History Of is your daily dose of weird, wonderful, and occasionally ridiculous history. Each episode takes one topic an object, a place, a job, a trend and unpacks the surprising story behind it. No homework, no boring lectures, just history you’ll actually want to share.
