On the Trail of H.P. Lovecraft
Saturday, January 24, 2009
NinjaCthulhu has uploaded a great personal tour of H.P. Lovecraft's grave and other Lovecraftian places to Youtube. While the presenter is a little over the top at times, the footage of Swan Point Cemetery (Lovecraft's burial site) and the other Providence locations turned out wonderfully. Good taste is shown in the selection of Lovecraftian sites: the real life basis for the infamous Shunned House, the gorgeous home where Lovecraft centered "The Case of Charles Dexter Ward," as well as St. John's Churchyard--beloved by both Poe and HPL. If you've ever wondered what it looks like to be moving around on the ground in Providence in these areas, then this informal tour will give you some idea.
