Leopardnomicon
The Necronomicon is a fictional book appearing in the stories by horror novelist H. P. Lovecraft. Among other things, the work contains an account of the Old Ones, their history, and the means for summoning them.
Lovecraft wrote that the title, as translated from the Greek language, meant “an image of the law of the dead”: nekros – νεκρός (“dead”), nomos – νόμος (“law”), eikon – εικών (“image”). A more prosaic translation can be derived by conjugating nemo (“to consider”): “Concerning the dead”.
Guard Mecha Nerval
Gérard de Nerval (1808 – 1855) was the nom-de-plume of the French poet, essayist and translator Gérard Labrunie, one of the most essentially Romantic French poets.
Gérard de Nerval Insanity
Gérard de Nerval’s first nervous breakdown occurred in 1841. In a series of novellas, collected as Les Illuminés, ou les précurseurs du socialisme (1852), on themes suggested by the careers of Rétif de la Bretonne, Cagliostro and others, he gave shape to feelings that followed his third attack of insanity. Increasingly poverty-stricken and disoriented, he finally committed suicide in 1855, hanging himself from a window grating.
