H.P. Lovecraft was a resident of Providence and many of the sites in his tales are recognizable to this day.Over a period of years, Henry L.P. Beck with, Jr. researched Providence and its outlying areas, armed with an appreciation of Lovecraft's writings and a deep interest in the region's rich colonial heritage. He has identified buildings and places utilized by Lovecraft in his tales and correspondence.The result is a total of four tours, all deeply involved with Lovecraft's interests, and all accompanied by maps drawn expressly for this book.This is the third edition of a book that is of great interest both to visitors of Providence and those admirers of Lovecraft's fiction.
Lovecraft's Providence and Adjacent Parts Reviews
-
Written in 1986 as an expansion of a lecture given in 1975, this guide gives a 'walking tour' around Providence and the surrounding areas of places pertinent to the life and works of the old gent.
How much is still relevant after 35 years is unknown to me just now, but maybe if I'm lucky, I'll one day find out...combined with 'Off the Ancient Track' a good few days out could easily be arranged...
UPDATE: It's happening! Flights booked, hotels booked!!
