Robert Bloch: Strange Eons, Gebunden

Klappentext

Robert Bloch's classic contribution to the Lovecraftian Cthulhu Mythos, back in print at last!

When Albert Keith comes across a dusty old painting of a hideous, red-eyed, sharp-clawed creature in a dingy junk shop, he falls in love with it at first sight and buys it at a bargain price. But it isn't until he shows it to his friend Simon Waverly that he understands the painting's true significance: it appears to be one of the portraits described by H. P. Lovecraft in his horror story "Pickman's Model." Keith and Waverly slowly begin to realize that Lovecraft's fiction may not be works of the imagination at all-instead they contain a message to mankind, a terrible warning about Cthulhu and his minions, the Great Old Ones. Keith sets off in search of the horrible truth, but can anything stop the Great Old Ones, or is mankind already doomed?

Robert Bloch (1917-1994) was a friend and admirer of Lovecraft, and in hisStrange Eons(1978), originally published as a limited edition and long out of print, he contributes his own notable entry to the Lovecraftian Mythos. This new edition includes an introduction by David J. Schow.
