Just wondering if anybody has had the honor of visiting Howard's grave? I live in Rhode Island and have spent alot of time visting the various places he mentions (the fleur-de-lys building for instance still exists). His grave is perfect. Its small and unobtrusive, as you'd expect from the consumate gentleman. It's inscription "I am Providence" can be taken in so many ways, and the best part perhaps is the (And I shit you not) gnarled old tree that looms just behind and over the grave. It is literally coverd in carvings of elder signs, pentagrams, quotes from his works, and other less recognizable symbols...
Truly worth visiting.

Currently it doesnt. They've been keeping an eye on it pretty closely since somebody stole the original.

Hmmm, I will visit it some day. There must be a ton of Eldritch-ness there.
Going there at night would be good too.
