Prior to the Lovecraft Readathon on August 23, the Rhode Island Historical Society will be offering its annual  H.P. Lovecraft Literary Walk to commemorate the death of H.P. Lovecraft, Providence native and master of horror stories and weird tales.

The walking tour focuses on sites and events from the Providence-based story, The Case of Charles Dexter Ward, and many letters written by the author to family and friends. This is a perfect opportunity to get in a Lovecraftian mood prior to the readathon.

The walk costs $10 per person. To learn more about the walk, or to make a reservation, contact Barbara Barnes at 401-273-7507 x362 or bbarnes@rihs.org.

Stay tuned for information about more upcoming Lovecraft Readathon tie-in events.
