Providence, Rhode Island - H.P. Lovecraft's Grave The horror writer and creator of the Necronomicon and the Cthulhu Mythos was a Providence native and has a humble grave positioned inside of the expansive Swan Point cemetery. Not all that exciting, except in the Spring when local Lovecraft admirers hold a tribute and reading by his grave. [Patrick, 08/05/2004]
