The Shadow out of Providence: A Lovecraftical Metatext

The Shadow out of Providence comprises a play and two short stories, featuring illustrations by Timothy Hutchings, Erol Otus, and Dan Zettwoch. The book draws inspiration from the work of the Providence fantasist Howard Phillips Lovecraft (1890-1937). It critiques Lovecraft’s racism, his nostalgia for aristocracy, and his florid style, while it celebrates his work’s continuing influence on culture.
