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.[5] 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,[6][7] but Levenda has denied the identification.[7][8]
