** Naturally, many book publishers have been inspired by Lovecraft's work to create and mass-market "real" versions of the Necronomicon. Some seem loyal to the source, like ''[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simon_Necronomicon Simon Necrominon]'', others are more about [[Homage]] to the source. There's even [[Lovecraft Lite| a ''pop-up book'' version.]] [https://web.archive.org/web/20170712142543/http://www.toyvault.com/cthulhu/Necronomicon%20Pillow%20-%20Large.jpg No, really.] |

* In [[Michael Chabon]]'s novel ''[[The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay]],'' the protagonists create a comic book series called ''The Escapist.'' Then a 6-issue miniseries came out, printing various comic book stories from ''The Escapist,'' from the '40s through the present, with explanatory articles by real important figures in the comic book world, about the series' various publishers, and its place in the changing trends and values in the history of comics. |

* The ''[[War Against the Chtorr]]'' series features the Mode Training, which is kind of self-help training on acid. Guess what? David Gerrold, the author, is building an ''actual'' Mode Training program. Oddly, one of the books has him set aside some pages to point out that Mode Training is fictional and he never wants to see anyone creating "Mode Training" and charging people money for it, because it was rather dangerous. Perhaps this meant ''other'' people. |

* Several segments of the titular play of Robert W. Chambers' short story collection ''King in Yellow'' have been later written by other authors. Thom Ryng is the possibly the only one who has not only written the whole thing, but also had it actually played on stage. No reports of insanity have been made of the readers, but save for a few anachronisms in language and style, it's a very good and suitably bleak story of how [[You Can't Fight Fate]] in a world inhabited by [[Cosmic Horror]]s. |
