As ex ghost writer i may assure that is the first thing to take care when writing a finction based on Lovecraft myths:
first you raise some doubts
...maybe he knowns much more of what supposed...for sure he was a member of a Golden Dawn , so we may try to trace the origins of the Golden Dawn back in a way to find hypothetical but fascinating links with as example Rosicrucian and from Rosicrucian to ancient Egyptian mystery and once the ancient Egyptians are in play the door for Sumer, Babylons and all kind of forgotten mysteries , brotherhood and religions is open...

A disturbing number at that. Some actually think the necronomicon is real. Some even consider him one of the great experts of all time in the supernatural when everything he wrote was fiction. I guess that's a testament to how good he was at writing. Incidentally, he only had one story, Dagon, with cthulhu in it that I know of.
That another Ghost Writer trick, it uses a very logical concept, so logical to be somehow disturbing because even true
(at least partially)
1)The Necronomicon (here you may replace "Necronomicon" with any other similar book ) WAS not existing
2) BUT more and more people believe it does exist, and so progressively more and more data and quote from the book start to exist
3) to the point that the Necronomicon start to exist also physically in this reality :
because were already sufficient quote (in all literature and movies somehow inspired by Lovecraft or anyway quoting the Necronomicon) to re-assemble the source ...the Necronomicon
At point 3 is also easy add a reasonable "academic" introduction explaining the origin and the myth around the book ,then finally the old good Necronomicon with critical notes and a reasonable academic background is ready for the print
Obviously this was already done (at least by Arkam House and a Italian editor ) published several years ago, and was quite successful so we may say that now the Necromicon exist and from long
and not only do exist but it is exactly the same quoted by Lovecraft long ago:
It can not be the same since was re-created assembling that quotes so will be always perfectly coherent with the quote
It is really the most basic trick in the media, it doesn't matter if the fact exist :
because if we can spread sufficiently informations interest and attention on a fact that will automatically become existent.
Facts doesn't exist if nobody talk about, and do exist beyond doubt if everybody talk about, this is the reality in the world of the media, playing with this make easy to eliminate or bring into real existence fact as the real Necronomicon, Area 51, the Reptilian Conspiracy or anything else
So now you may found a copy of the Necronomicon in any library, more info on its author, that once was a fictional author the "Mad Arab" Abdul Alhazred, but progressively become less and less fictional because the book was really written by a team of g writers channellings or playing the role of the "Mad Arab" Abdul Alhazred and signing as the Mad Arab" Abdul Alhazred
