It's real, but it is very serious and not for beginners. The Simon version is the best in my magick teacher's opinion and he's been using it for years. Simon also wrote a book called, Gates of the Necronomicon, which (according to my teacher) is a great companion to Simon's Necronomicon. It gives more details about things than his Necronomicon, because that one is a translation of the original written in the 8th century, which was written in haste because the author felt he was at Death's Door and wanted to get it done so the information was left behind. The knowledge contained within was dying out, even in his day, and that is why it was so important for him to write as much as possible before his death.
There have been ancient tablets discovered and translated that contain some of what is written in the Necronomicon almost word for word. Atleast one of the tablets is Akkadian (forgive me if I misspelled that).
