What people say

Miguel Fliguer

"The setting for the horrifying events in Lovecraft's "The Haunter of the Dark". On what is now the park grounds once stood the St. John's Catholic Church imposing building, which inspired the fictitious "Church of the Starry Wisdom" from the story. It was torn down in 1992. "

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.
