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 character[[Sherlock 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]]. | The ''Necronomicon'' is not a book from the real world.

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. --[[User:Nyktimos|Nyktimos]] 03:31, October 9, 2010 (UTC) | Cultural references from the real world is the closest I can get to an in-universe reference to a literary element as literary.
