Dark Tales: Haunted Authors of Providence Tour
Relatos Oscuros: Tour de Autores Embrujados de Providence
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 explores her life and relives the couple’s whirlwind- and doomed- romance.
