Journey to H.P. Lovecraft's Grave

Monday, May 10, 2010

Here's a video of a recent excursion to H.P. Lovecraft's grave. It documents a short drive through Swan Point Cemetery in Providence, and then arrival at Lovecraft's headstone. The visitors are surprised to see offerings left at the grave by other admirers. Though the sheer number of items might surprise some, it's not an uncommon occurrence, as I related in this set of photos a couple years ago.

Lovecraft's resting place is very interesting, as both the burial ground of a famous author and as a tiny window into his fans' psychology. The many trinkets left there seem to be as frequent as they are varied.
