Both as novelist and nonfiction writer, Gover has explored themes of pseudoscience and the occult. "Voodoo Contra: Contradictory Meanings of the Word", deals with African-American polytheism as a serious and very ancient religion. In "Time and Money: The Economy and the Planets", Gover claims evidence for a recurring planetary pattern that has coincided with great depressions, and predicts a very difficult economy and economic changes during the second decade of the 21st Century. Gover lived most of his life in California but later moved to Rehoboth Beach, Delaware.
