Lovecraft-themed bookstore located in the Arcade in downtown Providence. It’s small, but if you like reading horror stories, want to learn more about Lovecraft, or are looking for a gift for someone who loves the macabre, it has everything you could ask for. In addition to books, they sell posters, postcards, figurines, and more. Staff are very friendly and helpful, and are clearly very passionate and knowledgeable about Lovecraft and horror in general. Cool place to visit, would definitely recommend!

Pretty cool little shop with decent prices and a great selection of books, shirts, posters, stickers, etc, and friendly & knowledgeable staff. My partner is a huge HPL fan, and the trip to this store had his jaw dropping. I recommend checking them out.

Absolutely amazing store, wonderfully curated. A must-stop if you love bookstores, especially anything macabre/unusual, or just wanna chat with some knowledgeable & friendly shopkeepers. They also have a Lovecraft tour of Providence which is awesome! Will definitely come here any time I’m able to!

Visited this store for the first time yesterday, and will definitely return when we can get back to Providence. So many interesting books to choose from for me (science fiction reader) and my husband (horror reader). It’s not a very big store, but the selection is excellent.

An incredible book store, cannot recommend it highly enough.I'm a Lovecraft geek while my partner has never read any of his work or other weird horror. I expected I would enjoy myself, maybe pick up another short story collection and my partner would hopefully not be too bored.Not only did I get an excellent recommendation from a brief description of my interest in the genre, but my partner found a book on speculative astrobiology. Furthermore, seeing the astrobiology book, they shared fascinating collection of essays on marine biology that my partner also bought.Friendly, thoughtful, queer-friendly and extremely knowledgeable staff running a non-profit bookstore. What more could you want?

This is a very unique and special book store. They even have collectible fiction books as well. Great spot to explore different fiction books.

Do you like horror, but scanning through standard bookstores' singular horror shelf dominated by Stephen King is uninspiring at best? Go here. Even if you don't care about HPL (cannot relate, but to each their own), the staff are friendly, knowledgeable, and will give expert recommendations about the store's diverse and excellently chosen stock of weird, fringe, experimental horror, along with related history, science, science fiction, and fantasy. I walked away with one of the most disturbing books I have ever read and I am very, very happy. I've never before been in a bookstore whose selection felt specifically tailored for me, and it was a wonderful, once in a lifetime experience. However, even if you are not, like me, the target audience, anyone looking for something new in horror or sci-fi has something to love here, and the staff would be happy to show you. Don't miss it!

This is such a charming little shop. I stopped in to pick up some souvenirs during a business trip and now I don't think I'll be able to visit the area without stopping in! I picked up a few things for my wife and she absolutely loved all of it! Thanks to a staff suggestion she is the proud owner of a book and cd of Innsmouth sea shanties. If you're on the fence about visiting don't hesitate, you won't regret it!

A niche shop to be sure, but if weird fiction and horror is your thing it's a good stop to make. Staff is friendly and helpful.
