Oh wow this was so cool! Some really nifty finds, looks like. :) Coincidentally I'm actually planning on covering some Lovecraft next month. ;) I can really get why Lovecraft was so enamored of New England. There's something about those old colonial buildings that has such a vibe. I would've enjoyed the tour. :)
Oh nice, looking forward to your coverage. When I got back I've been reading all his work chronologically to see how it evolves. It's been interesting, but not as obvious as I thought it would be. He has a few good ones early on too. I haven't hit his most famous works yet though.
Yaaaaay so glad you did this video! I have been living vicariously- it looks like an amazing experience! It was great to see the spoils of Necronomicon! What is so great with getting a book that’s signed, limited edition or when you meet the author, is that it’s not just a book haul, it feels like a part of history and a great way to commemorate an awesome event. I love the photos too- it must have been so cool to do the walk and experience Lovecraft’s inspiration first hand. Thanks for sharing the clip of Tremblay and Langan- both were really cool to see. Very cool you got to chat to both of them. I love how Tremblay’s answer to your q on ambiguity was ambiguous! 😅 And sounds like Langan was such a nice guy too. Please may I ask, where would you recommend starting with John Langan? Glad you guys enjoyed it! Sounds like it was a very worthwhile journey!
I had a much better time than I thought I would. I figured after a day or two I would have seen everything I wanted, but ended up going all four days. As far as where to start, I overall enjoyed The Wide Carnivorous Sky collection. He's mostly a short story writer with two novels I believe. I did read one of them, The Fisherman, and while there was a lot I liked, there were a few things I didn't. Many people love that book though, so if you're looking for a novel you might try that one. My issue was with the voice he chose to tell a story in the middle of the book. It's kind of a story within a story thing.
@@JasonFuhrmanGlad you enjoyed it! Sounds like there was a lot to explore and see next time you go too. Ah sorry I completely spaced- you did recommend that story collection. Thanks again! I will bump that up my tbr. And I remember watching your fisherman review. May give that one a sample. Anyway thanks again!
Awesome video, man! Thanks for sharing your experience in Providence. The wife and I visited a couple of years ago, and saw many of the same places and things. Such a fascinating city!
@@JasonFuhrman Yes, and bought a few weird items from the Lovecraft A&S. I do really want to go to a Necronomicon...maybe in two years! We'll have to meet up!

Oh cool I didn't know you've been. A cool and strange city indeed. Looking forward to going back.
