Author: Theophanes Avery
Theophanes Avery is a whimsical travel blogger that is hopelessly in love with New England and all it's weird places, people, and things. Besides running way too many blogs they are the author of three books, at least one of them good, and they also enjoy raising aquarium fish in Walsted tanks, sculpting, Sharpie doodling, knitting, tattooing leather, homesteading, and whatever other hobby tickles their raging ADD.

They love new oddball friends. Fly the freak flag high my darlings!

The Athenaeum – Providence RI
THIS is what I think about when I think of the word library – just a bunch of books all cozy and warm, chilling with great art and weird people.
John Hayes Library – Providence RI
This was the first time I got to handle authentic letters from an actual classic author (H P Lovecraft) AND end up mysteriously in a giant room full of toy soldiers.

A haunted rocking chair and a female serial killer lie in this cemetery.
