The Necronomicon is not a book from the real world. It is a crossover element which has the rare distinction of being both real and fictional in the DW novels. Crossover characterSherlock Holmes is a real person in DW, immortalised as a literary character. Writing this page was like finding the Doctor was aware of three Sherlock Holmes: 1) the Victorian detective, 2) a man that sounds more like Professor Challenger as a Cockney Draconian, and 3) a wholly fictional character created by Arthur Conan Doyle.
Cultural references from the real world is the closest I can get to an in-universe reference to a literary element as literary. When they appear as real not literary things like the fictional play The King in Yellow (The Death of Art), Si Fan's Council of Seven (All-Consuming Fire), or the detective Carnacki (Foreign Devils), the detective alone has the out-of-universe category for crossovers. --Nyktimos 03:31, October 9, 2010 (UTC)
