Lovecraft in Brooklyn- haunted tour

Tour Description: Twentieth-century horror writer Howard Phillips Lovecraft, whose persona and works are closely tied with his native Providence, RI, spent just over two years living in Brooklyn. Beset by a troubled marriage, financial difficulties, and a phobia of New York’s immigrant population, Lovecraft produced only a few stories while living in the city–works reflecting his attitude toward the teeming metropolis. Lovecraft’s time in Brooklyn, although difficult, proved  transformative. Upon returning to Providence, H P Lovecraft would immediately produce his most masterful and best-loved works.

This tour will trace a path from Lovecraft’s high hopes at the beginning of his Brooklyn sojourn in Flatbush, to tough times in the area now known as Brooklyn Heights, and artistic renewal beyond....

I came across this tour, and thought it interesting. Please keep in mind this is a commercial haunt and a paid tour- there is a ticket price of 25-30 bucks, with 5 bucks going to the local historical fund. It was recently announced these guys will be having a tour in May and in June..

That's awesome. And hopefully parts of those areas might still look like it did during his writings. He's finally getting more notoriety since he did help spark the minds of quite a bit of horror authors.

Hopefully by the time I can afford this they would have a B&B so you can do a Lovecraft weekend......:)
