yes it was and it's become a staple for many wiccans and dark wizards that use pratical magik in every day life like me not that i'm saying this game is bad but its interesting that the world is becoming more open to lovecraft's ideas and using his characters for books and movies and games
How can a book that doesn't exist be a staple? It first appeared in the 1919 short story 'The Hound,' but other than some brief quotes, was never printed. Okay, someone cranked out a version in the 1990s, but I seriously hope you don't take someone's terrible for-profit paperback Necronomicon seriously.
