What people say

Miguel Fliguer

"Building from the late 1780s, a few steps from the Fleur-de-Lys House. One of Lovecraft's aunts had her paintings exhibited, and he attended art shows here throughout his life. In 2019 a life-size bronze of Lovecraft was unveiled here, but was later removed, and as of today (2023) it's still waiting for a permanent, private home. Across the street, there's the statue of Edward Bannister, one of the club founders. Both magnificent sculptures were created by Providence artist Gage Prentiss."

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.
