Greetings Everyone!
I did a recent interview with Brandon Wallace on the Truth
& Shadow Podcast. The interview, The
Dark Side of Imagination: Understanding Lovecraft's Complex Character,
lasted fifty-five minutes and it was a
lot of fun. It is now available for listening or for download on Apple
Podcasts, YouTube, and on various other on-line sites.
The interview was focused primarily on my first book, H. P. Lovecraft & the Black Magickal Tradition, though I discussed my second and third books as well—my third book, Horror as Racism in H. P. Lovecraft: White Fragility in the Weird Tales, was just released the first of this year, by Bloomsbury!
I hope that all of you will check out the interview! Mr. Wallace, in his promotional introduction
to the interview, has this to say:
“Join us on this intriguing episode of “Truth and Shadow” as
we delve into the eerie and enigmatic worlds of science fiction, horror, and
the occult with the renowned author John L. Steadman. Best known for his book
“H.P. Lovecraft & the Black Magickal Tradition,” Steadman offers a unique
perspective on the connections between Lovecraft’s mythos and esoteric
traditions. We’ll explore the depths of Lovecraftian horror, the influence of
occult practices, and the modern mythologies that continue to captivate and
terrify audiences worldwide. Tune in for a chilling and intellectually
stimulating discussion that peels back the layers of the unknown. Perfect for
fans of horror literature, the occult, and anyone curious about the dark
corners of human imagination.”
