Strange Eons is a 1978 novel by American writer Robert Bloch. The book is "dedicated to HPL who dedicated himself to other outsiders and gave to them a silver key". The title is a reference to a couplet from H. P. Lovecraft's short story "The Nameless City": "That is not dead which can eternal lie, And with strange eons, even death may die."

Strange Eons features a painting mentioned in "Pickman's Model" and the Starry Wisdom sect from "The Haunter of the Dark".

David J. Schow noted that "since its debut, Strange Eons has suffered a disporportionate amount of abuse, mostly at the hands of embittered stylists".[1]
