Early Encounters
Little to no information is available on the whereabouts of the Necronomicon between it's creation and 1300 AD, though one reality claimed the book was briefly in the possession of the local mystic of the Sumerian city of Akhsa "decades" before 4000 BC. The mystic used the Ex-Mortis to summon a demon known as Dagen, who promised prosperity and good fortune to the city in exchange for a human sacrifice to be given to him annually. Historians have also found evidence of the book being used in w...
Discovery In 1300 AD
The earliest well-documented period of the book's history was in the 14th Century, where it (along with two "fake" copies) were placed upon an alter inside a graveyard in England. A time-displaced Ash Williams journeyed to the cemetery and retrieved the book with the intention of using it to immediately return to his proper time, but his failure to recite an incantation before removing the Ex-Mortis from the alter resulted in the creation of an army of the dead led by his evil doppelganger. W...
The Lost Years
Details of the Necronomicon's history over the course of the following seven centuries become scarce after Ash's departure, though at some point for reasons unknown, several pages of the Ex-Mortis were removed from the book's binding and hidden inside a deep pit located underneath Castle Kandar's courtyard.At another unspecified point, the book had been left behind in the castle after it's occupants had migrated to much larger communities elsewhere.
Power Transference & Human Hosts
In the "prime" universe, Pablo Simon Bolivar was briefly possessed by the spirit of the Necronomicon, turning him into the "Ore Magnus Necronomicon". Though Bolivar was soon released of the book's control, the tome had left both a spiritual and physical imprint upon him, which resulted in horrific visions and incantations from the book appearing as tattoos on his skin.While the book itself offered to release Pablo from this "curse", such a deal did not last, and Bolivar was plagued by his bon...
Living Creature Absorption
A characteristic seemingly exclusive to the Earth-818793 version of the book, the Necronomicon demonstrated the ability to absorb physical traits of small creatures it trapped within it's pages. After having been left in the sands of Egypt by Ash Williams, the book was in the path of a coming scorpion, who was then squished inside when the Ex-Mortis snapped itself shut. The Necronomicon then took on the characteristics of the scorpion, such as tiny legs, a tail, and two large pincers, and eve...
Speech
Various versions of the Necronomicon found across the multiverse are capable of speech.
There is conflicting information in regards to methods of destroying the Necronomicon Ex-Mortis, as it seems to vary from copy to copy and universe to universe. In the "prime" reality, the copy found by Ash Williams in the Knowby cabin was initially thought to have been destroyed after being throwing into the fireplace, though Williams himself woul...
The Graveyard Books
The first known duplicates of the Necronomicon appeared in a graveyard in England during the 14th Century. Placed upon a large stone altar, these copies were designed to protect the real version from those who sought the Ex-Mortis and its knowledge. On Earth-818793, it was said that the books were bound to the cemetery grounds by a curse, which could only be removed by a massive disruption in the space-time continuum and the very nature of magic itself.Another universe's version of Evil Ash l...
Alex Eldridge's Necronomicon
In one reality, a former associate of Raymond Knowby named Alex Eldridge wrote and published a faux translation of the Necronomicon Ex-Mortis in the early 2000s. Simply titled Necronomicon, the book became a best-seller with the public at large and supernatural and occult enthusiast. This book's most vocal critic was this universe's Ash Williams, who once stated that Eldridge "wouldn't know the realNecronomicon from a roll of extra-fluffy two-ply."
Latin Necronomicon
On Earth-818793, a Latin translation of the Necronomicon was written by "Mad Arab" Abdul Alhazred. Not much is known about this version of the book, except it contained a prophecy that the world was going to end in the year 2012 AD. This version of the book eventually fell into the possession of Herbert West, who then gave the book to Ash Williams upon finding him in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Aug 30, 2019 · The Evil Dead franchise has taken a lot of liberties with its characters and timeline, and it’s not surprising that the same happened with the Necronomicon Ex-Mortis – although all versions are equally dangerous, so it’s better not to mess with it like Ash has been doing.
