​
As an Introduction to this interview, Brandon Wallace writes: " On this intriguing episode of “Truth and Shadow,” 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 explore the depths of Lovecraftian horror, the influence of occult practices, and the modern mythologies that continue to captivate and terrify audiences worldwide. This is 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."
I spent an enjoyable 55 minute interview with Brandon; though my main focus was on the topics of my first book, I also talked about my second and third books as well. In particular, I spoke about the Lovecraft's Paradoxes and his contradictory beliefs and personality traits, including his racism and relationships.

Miami Ghost Chronicles with Marlene Pardo Pellicer
Streamyard Interview- December 23, 2021
7:00 PM- 8:30 PM EST
​
Marlene founded Miami Ghost Chronicles in the 1990s and considers herself one of only a handful of "hardcover paranormal investigators" who work under what she calls the "dungeon" approach, which is little or no reliance on technology to research the unseen world of the paranormal. She has collaborated mainly with research groups in Florida, but she has also assisted other organizations and private clients across the country.
​
Marlene & I had a lively hour & a half discussion on a variety of topics: life, the afterlife, the necessity for believing in something “larger than oneself” and, of course, the core topics in my book. In particular, we talked about “real” and so-called artificial intelligence & speculated about whether or not robots or VR “idols” will ever achieve a level of mental acuity comparable to humankind.

Science fiction and fantasy scholar John L. Steadman joins us to deep dive into authors H.P. Lovecraft, Isaac Asimov, and William Gibson and how they interpreted the concept of what an alien is, and what it wants.

New Dawn Magazine Special Issue Vol. 12 No. 2
"Aliens: Extra-Terrestrial or Trans-Dimensional?"- published April, 2018
​
In this article, I make the case that aliens are essentially not extra-terrestrial, but rather, trans-dimensional, inhabiting the myriad layers of alternate dimensions that interpenetrate the Multiverse, “in” the world as we know it and yet, not really “of” the world.
​
The first issue of New Dawn magazine appeared in May 1991 in Melbourne, Australia. From humble beginnings, New Dawn has grown into a unique 80 page bi-monthly publication distributed nationwide throughout Australia and New Zealand, with a growing international readership.
​
In 2004 New Dawn magazine commenced publishing Special Issues devoted to ancient mysteries and the unexplained. These Special Issues, now published every two months, are a thought-provoking and highly readable examination of the greatest mysteries of the past, the present, and the future.
​
New Dawn Magazine Special Issue Vol. 12 No. 5
"Real & Fictional Vampires in Modern Times"- published Nov, 2018
​
In this essay, I examine Bram Stoker's Dracula (1897) and other literary vampire prototypes that stress the spirit-aspects of the archetype & minimize the corporal. Then, I critique the contemporary pretty boy & girl vampires which are entirely corporal & thus, not terrifying or symbolically imposing in the least. And finally, I argue that real vampires in the 20th & 21st centuries are not corporal and, as a result, are extremely terrifying.
​
New Dawn magazine publishes speculative articles & essays on ancient & contemporary mysteries, future science and the unexplained- it is, quite literally, the best magazine of its kind in existence in the 21st century.

“H. P. Lovecraft & the Elder Sign”- August 5, 2017
​
“H. P. Lovecraft & the Elder Sign” is a scholarly study of Lovecraft’s Elder Sign talisman. The Elder Sign is a powerful repository of magickal energy used by magickal practitioners for protection against the Great Old Ones. Lovecraft’s disciple August Derleth created his own version of the Elder Sign which is commonly believed to be based on the five-pointed pentagram, a religious & Wiccan icon. In my essay, I debunk that myth and show that Derleth derived his Elder Sign from Lovecraft’s fictional masterpieces “At the Mountains of Madness” & “The Shadow Over Innsmouth.”
​
Lighting the Void Show
Radio Interview- Wednesday, August 16, 2017
Time: 10 PM EDT (7 PM PST, 9 PM CST) SKYPE
​
This show is dedicated to the seeker of knowledge or gnosis. As declared on their website, “somewhere in the Void of Science and Spirituality lies the truth of our existence and the nature of life itself. This is what we babble about here at LTV Radio…. Major topics include, Astronomy, Kabbalah, Metaphysics, The Occult, Mysticism, Magick, Quantum Physics and much more! “
​
The host of the show, Joe Rupe, admits that he is not an expert in any field of study, but that he is nevertheless committed to questioning “many things” about the nature of our existence and life itself.
​
Lighting the Void strikes me as a perfect place for me to discuss my book, H. P. Lovecraft & the Black Magickal Tradition, and to engage in a nice, stimulating discussion of magick, occultism and even Quantum Physics. The theories and, surely, the practices of modern physicists in the 21st Century are aligning themselves with the truths that magickal practitioners have acknowledged for centuries.

The store frequently hosts leading writers in all genres for author visits. Susan Murphy, the owner and operator of the bookshop, explains succinctly on the store’s website her rationale for operating a bookstore : “I want to share my passion for reading as a way to connect, both to stories and to each other. Even though reading seems to be a solitary activity, it can lead to great conversations between people. My book store will provide a gathering space to share the stories within books.”
