Greetings Everyone!

Check out my first book: H. P. Lovecraft & the Black Magickal Tradition! You can get it in book stores, and at various online sites throughout the US and the world, including Amazon and Red Wheel /Weiser LLC.  I hope all of you will pick up a copy!

Richard Lupoff, renowned sf author, writes: “Was Lovecraft merely a writer of horror stories or was there something more to his works?... In H.P. Lovecraft and the Black Magickal Tradition, John L. Steadman addresses this question head-on...Steadman’s scholarship is impressive and the revelations in his book may well be as shocking to skeptics (including me!) as they are reassuring to believers.  I recommend this book unreservedly to any admirer of Lovecraft, whichever camp the reader may belong to.”

Perhaps, you may find some revelations of your own when you read it!

 Greetings Everyone!

Check out my second  book: Aliens, Robots & Virtual Reality Idols in the Science Fiction of H. P. Lovecraft, Isaac Asimov and William Gibson.   You can get it in book stores, and on Amazon and other online sites throughout the US and the world.  I hope all of you will pick up a copy!

David Simmons, Lovecraft scholar, writes: “Steadman’s comprehensive guide wrestles with the concept of the ‘alien’, applying cutting edge theoretical and philosophical ideas to the work of some of the greats of Science Fiction to arrive at the set of exciting, new discoveries about what the genre says it means to be ‘human’.  Reading Aliens, Robots and Virtual Reality Idols guarantees that you will never look at the writing of Lovecraft, Asimov or Gibson in the same way again.”

Perhaps you will, in fact, look at the works of these writers differently after reading my book!
