Jfc, we did that with the necronomicon back in 1991. We'd passed a copy around the role play/d&d group, and it made its way to a kid at school.

He was freaked out about it after he got halfway through. Tried to burn it, got scared, threw it in the river and fessed up (since it wasn't his damn book).

So we got another copy, beat it up, burned it a little, and then doused it in the sink. Put it in his locker.

He really freaked out, went to fucking confession and begged his priest for help. Got told to do some kind of prayer, and to throw it in the trash there.

We thought about doing it again, but books ain't free, and it could have gone bad. He was a friend, so no need to really fuck with him like that.

Pure evil. Also brilliant. Did you ever tell him?

Oh, yeah. The day after he told us about going to his priest. Probably would have told him then, but it was at the end of lunch, and between the time crunch and it being a bit hilarious, nobody thought to until the next morning in the library.

Props for having the smarts to stop before it turned into genuine bullying

Though I had never read it, I didn't learn until my mid-thirties that the Necronomicon is a fictional book conceived by Lovecraft. I discovered this while reading through his work. I thought it was a genuine historical book on the occult.

Why does it matter where he read it?

Same setting as the book, maybe?
