Darkness

The Darkness
Spoiler Warning The Darkness is the place in which Oddman and the Strange Circus reside. It seems to be a sort of plane outside of the real world. Oddman tells Chera that dragging people into the Darkness is his job. This could mean it is like a Shadow Realm. It exists alongside the real world, whilst having very few of its joys. When Chera shows Oddman the delights of the real world, he agrees not to drag her into the Darkness. After her death, he tried to make himself good enough to raise Noah, by creating the Circus, bringing joy and hope where there was none. He went about saving all the Stranges we see in the Circus today.
