You spelled the name wrong but it's far too early for me to get the correct 
spelling.  Just to let any one interested in knowing, Abdul Alhazred was a 
boyhood name that Lovecraft called himself when he played "Arabian Knights" 
in his backyard.


However, other authours in the Mythos have changed the name of the arab who 
wrote the Necronomicon to ABD AL-AZRAD (The One who Worships/serves the 
great devourer/strangler).

Sorry, reading this I realize this sounds like a rant, I need to sleep...I 
promise not to write after midnight... 1am again, really I do.
