"The Shunned House" for Halloween
Oct. 29th, 2008 11:52 amH.P. Lovecraft's "The Shunned House" gets star treatment today from
eldritchhobbit . On Day 29 of her Halloween countdown, she's offering not only a link to the story itself, but also the full text of Lovecraft's related poem, "The House" -- and a bonus link to the local history and lore which inspired this story.
There are photos of the original Shunned House (or at least, the one that inspired HPL) in Providence, RI, as well. Definitely worth a visit if you are at all interested in Lovecraft, or just curious about one of his lesser-known tales.
