John Michael Greer is an occultist, druid, and author whose 141 books span non-fiction on magic and ecology, Lovecraftian fiction, and reference encyclopedias. His non-fiction catalog — sixty-five books covering druidry, geomancy, ritual magic, peak oil, and secret societies — makes up the bulk of his work. Titles like The Druidry Handbook, The Celtic Golden Dawn, and The New Encyclopedia of the Occult have become standard references in their fields.
Greer’s fiction turns H.P. Lovecraft’s cosmic horror on its head. The Weird of Hali series, seven novels set in Lovecraft’s universe, tells the story from the perspective of the “monsters,” presenting the Great Old Ones as misunderstood beings rather than existential threats. He also edits anthologies of retro science fiction (Vintage Worlds), Lovecraftian horror magazines (Lovecraftiana), and post-petroleum speculative fiction (After Oil).
