What people say

Miguel Fliguer

"One of Lovecraft's favorite places in Providence, with breathtaking views . In "The Case of Charles Dexter Ward", the protagonist' nanny used to take baby Charles in his carriage for strolls at this gorgeous spot, as HPL's mother did with him in real life. The statue of Roger Williams (founder of Providence) houses his third and final resting place... the grave dust collected from a previous burial site. Perhaps Lovecraft had this in mind when he wrote about "Essential Saltes"... "

Lovecraftian Providence

Howard Phillips Lovecraft (1890-1937) was an American writer of science-fiction and cosmic horror, best known for creating the popular Cthulhu Mythos. As we stroll through the streets of his beloved Providence, we'll explore the places that shaped his visions and dreams. It features photos and information from my two HPL-inspired trips to Providence -and a few items from different sources, with attribution where possible. Most of the suggested spots are within walking distance of each other and can be covered on foot in one day. A few ones (eg. the Observatory and the Swan Point cemetery) require transportation.
