The Necronomicon was written by a guy, a man, a human. Nothing more. The book itself is not imbude with any 'Dark' power. The majority of Simons Nec is the 'good' stuff, the names of Enki are positive deities that slew the 'dark' entities and used their corpses to fashion the material world. There is only one small section in the back of Simons Nec called the Urilia Text which deals with the 'dark' side, and this text is noted upon by the author to be under-developed (and it is! Its so basic and stereotypically 'evil' and unpractical it hurts). However saying this, I still use the book to great effect. I just spice up the mythos from the actual works of Lovecraft and the plethora of other texts such as the Tyson Nec, which is very good, full of imagery, ideas and extra pantheons and entities for the mage to summon and play with. I have never once feared these books, the Simon's Nec was the first grimoire I ever used and its probably going to remain with me forever. Its just a book though, the magic happens in your head.
I also recomend the R'leyh text, its very cool.
