Peter Levenda

Peter Levenda (born 1950 or 1951) 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. He graduated from Florida International University.

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. 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. Levenda has denied that he is Simon.
