'''Strange Eons''' is a novel by Robert Bloch. It consists largely of references to Lovecraft novels and short stories, which it neither expands on nor explains very much (for example, we are still left wondering what those odd things were that killed Harley Warren, and Bloch -- rather than telling us -- has one of his characters die in a similar fashion and doesn't explain that). |

Strange Eons is a novel by Robert Bloch. It consists largely of references to Lovecraft novels and short stories, which it neither expands on nor explains very much (for example, we are still left wondering what those odd things were that killed Harley Warren, and Bloch -- rather than telling us -- has one of his characters die in a similar fashion and doesn't explain that).
- Anyone Can Die: There are multiple protagonists throughout the book, and almost all of them die, as well as many other characters.
- Informed Attribute: Kay Keith, the second protagonist, thinks to herself that she's not "the fainting sort" after we see her faint for the first time. She then goes on to do it several more times.
