The Return of the Sorcerer ties into the book of magic appearing in stories by which horror writer?
Necronomicon The Necronomicon is a fictional grimoire (textbook of magic) appearing in the stories by horror writer H. P. Lovecraft and his followers. It was first mentioned in Lovecraft's 1924 short story "The Hound", written in 1922, though its purported author, the "Mad Arab" Abdul Alhazred, had been quoted a year earlier in Lovecraft's "The Nameless City". Among other things, the work contains an account of the Old Ones, their history, and the means for summoning them.
World of Darkness World of Darkness is the name given to three related but distinct fictional universes created as settings for supernatural horror themed role-playing games.The first was conceived by Mark Rein-Hagen, while the second was designed by several people at White Wolf Gaming Studio, which Rein-Hagen helped to found. The first two World of Darkness settings have been used for several horror-themed role-playing games that make use of White Wolf's storyteller/storytelling system, as well as "Mind's Eye Theatre", a live-action roleplaying game based on the core games. The third, "Monte Cook's World of Darkness", created by Monte Cook based on the first two World of Darkness settings, includes only a single product.
