Lovecraft Arts & Sciences

Proudly weird bookstore

The Westminster Arcade or Arcade Providence in Providence Ri

HP Lovecraft is a turn-of-the-20th century science-horror writer whose tales of cosmic dread and unnameable terrors have a passionate following.

Part boutique, part cultural hub, Lovecraft Arts & Sciences offers a curated mix of books, stickers mentioning “Alhazred”, local crafts, tabletop games, and collectibles. The space doubles as a café and informal salon with an otherworldly vibe, perfect for anyone wanting to satisfy their Cthulhu plushy fix.

The Arcade

Another reason to go is to see the Arcade, the oldest mall in America. The Greek revival building with its granite columns and glass gabled roof has largely been transformed into micro-loft apartments (220 sq ft), a number of which are on Airbnb.
