Lovecraft, particularly in high school, and he is still my favorite horror writer (with the possible exception of older Clive Barker.) But, the actual Necronomicon is, as Aradia mentioned, a work of fiction. That being said, there is a movement within the Chaos Magick paradigm that uses these deities. I have also heard of invocations/evocations to Superman and Darth Vader within Chaos Magick, so whatever works, I suppose.
