I stopped in here this past Sunday with my husband while visiting Providence and let's just say I wish I had more space in my suitcase to buy more books! (I did end up taking two home, anyway) This is an awesome shop in a cool building and they have a great selection of books and other items. The staff …

I am OBSESSED with this store. They have a really good selection of occult books, RPG stuff, and *squeals* they have Cthulhu plushies! I love Cthulhu. Oh and they have postcards! And cool buttons. And yeah, I’m obsessed.

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, …

ITS NOT A MUSEUM!!!!! Lol. Once you get past that disappointment (thank you guide books and podcasts) it is a very amusing niche bookstore with lots of very clever gifts revolving around HP Lovecraft and general creepy/occult souvenirs. It was fun to browse but it is very tiny and you won’t spend more than 20 minutes max in here.

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.

Stop by this bookstore for an early morning exploration and I loved what I found! They don’t sell the normal kind of books you would find in a Barnes and noble. It was refreshing to find different genres and see horror books almost everywhere. I was really happy to get five postcards for only a $1.07! The individuals at the …

A fantastic bookstore located in Downtown Providence, catering to the horror and occult. While it's a small store, it's packed with books to delight any horror fan. They have an excellent selection of books and some tarot decks. The staff are friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful, which made the shopping experience wonderful. You can even ask for an H.P. Lovecraft sight-seeing …

This is a magical, amazing place for any Lovecraft fan. It was one of the highlights of our trip to Providence and we walked away with many treasures. The person who was running the store (it's been a while and I can't recall their name) was amazing. A true fan and very knowledgeable. If you like anything weird, macabre, horror …
