We arrived in Providence with a day to spare before Necronomicon started, so took the opportunity to wander around and visit a few key sites from Lovecraft’s life and one from his death.
Paul took a few videos of me explaining what these sites were, which you can find below. The highlight, for me at least, was what happened when we found his birthplace. It was almost too perfectly ironic.
Welcome to Blasphemous Tomes. Within these pages you’ll find a selection of film, book and gaming related reviews and articles.
This site is also home to The Good Friends of Jackson Elias, a podcast about Call of Cthulhu, horror films, weird fiction and roleplaying games in general.
The hosts are all regular writers for Call of Cthulhu, offering personal insights into the game.
We have over 100 episodes available now and new episodes every two weeks.

The seashells are really ironic, indeed!
Between those and the fish van, it did seem like the forces of the deep were rising up to mock Lovecraft in death.
