Walk through Providence's dark side!
The eerie writings H.P. Lovecraft- one of the most significant supernatural horror fiction authors of the 20th century- are inexplicably bound to his hometown of Providence. This tour walks in the tortured author's footsteps through his traumatic upbringing and favorite haunts; guests also meet some of the fictional characters that Lovecraft wrote into the city's fabric through dramatic retellings of his creepiest tales.
But Lovecraft isn't the only author that ambled the city's centuries-old sidewalks: Sarah Helen Whitman was an eccentric local spiritualist and poet who was briefly engaged to master of the macabre Edgar Allan Poe. This tour also explores her life and relives the couple's whirlwind- and doomed- romance.

Prospect Terrace
The tour begins here at this majestic overlook of Providence, where Lovecraft spent a lot of time writing his stories.
The tour will stop in front of the last home of Lovecraft, where he wrote a short story called The Haunter in the Dark. We will stop to chat about the author, the story, and to take photos. After this stop we will see one of two houses on the tour written into Lovecraft storylines, and then see the home of Sarah Helen Whitman, where Edgar Alan Poe first laid eyes on his future fiance.
