What men know is called science; what they have not yet learned they call magic. But both are real.... - In the world of today and the near future, three people inexorably linked by a common interest in the work of H. P. Lovecraft, discover: -

that the legendary creatures he created in his fantasies have hideous counterparts in reality...
that his fiction is incredible fact...
that his message is a warning...

Bloch was a protège of H. P. Lovecraft, and, at the age of fifteen, the youngest member of the "Lovecraft Circle." This book, based on Lovecraftian themes, is his homage to the man.

Of all the Lovecraft pastiches, Strange Eons most emphatically takes the bleak implications of his mythos to their logical conclusion.
