Peter Levenda is an American author who focuses primarily on occult history. He is best known for his book Unholy Alliance, which is about Esoteric Hitlerism and Nazi occultism.
Occultist Alan Cabal wrote in 2003 that Levenda was the author of the Simon Necronomicon (using the pseudonym "Simon") a literary hoax that derives its title from H. P. Lovecraft's fictional Necronomicon . [1] The United States Copyright Office registration for Simon's 2006 publication, Gates of the Necronomicon, lists the author as Peter Levenda, under the pseudonym Simon. [2] Levenda claimed in some interviews[ which? ] that he was not Simon. [3] [4]
