General Portrayal

The state appears frequently in Cthulhu Mythos stories. H.P. Lovecraft, the creator of the Mythos, was born in Providence and set some of his stories there, although the majority of his stories took place in the fictional town of Arkham, Massachusetts. Rhode Island also appears in some X-Files stories, as the home of Fox Mulder's family. DC Comics' Justice League were originally based in the fictional Rhode Island city of Happy Harbor, and the city still makes occasional appearances in DC stories.
