Behind the scenes
The Krivbeknih is a reference to the many esoteric and arcane tomes featured in the Cthulhu mythos, written by H.P. Lovecraft, such as the Necronomicon, Book of Eibon, Pnakotic Manuscripts, etc. These artifacts play a similiar role in the mythos, often being used by evil men for sinister purposes.

Also, the Dunwich building where you go to destroy the book is a reference to Lovecrafts short story "The Dunwich Horror", and an audio tape recovered in the building contains a reference to "Alhazred", the fictional author of "Necronomicon".

This book, (the Krivbehknih), is the book that Jaime's dad was searching for, as mentioned in the personal journal holotapes found throughout the Dunwich building.

The name of the Krivbeknih could be derived from czech or slovak language, where "kniha" means literally "book". The rest of the name is uncertain. However the first syllable resembles the slovak word for wry, crooked or twisted (krivý).
