A dark, twisted version of [[Arcadia|rural New England]] as used as a setting for horror stories. Named for the author [[H.P. Lovecraft|HP Lovecraft]] -- a native of Rhode Island -- who wrote a number of tales set in a New England milieu, usually small isolated towns that look [[Nothing Exciting Ever Happens Here|boring and mediocre]] at first but are actually dark and foreboding on the inside, populated by hostile and [[Corrupt Hick|corrupt (in several ways) hicks]] that often are not quite human, twisted by the influence of ancient horrors and [[Eldritch Abomination|extradimensional aliens]] (and [[Kissing Cousins|generations of inbreeding]]).
