Unjustly neglected today, Carl Jacobi was a prolific contributor to the pulp magazines of the 1930s and '40s, with many of his stories appearing in the celebrated Weird Ta les alongside his more famous contemporaries like H. P. Lovecraft, Clark Ashton Smith, and Robert E. Howard. Jacobi was perhaps unequaled at creating atmosphere through his precise and careful use of language, and he was a master of the slow-building crescendo of suspense and terror that leads to an explosive final revelation. Revelations in Black (1947), Jacobi's first and most influential collection, contains twenty-one of his best short stories, including such famous tales as "Mive," "The Satanic Piano," and the classic vampire story "Revelations in Black." This new edition, the first in nearly fifty years, also features a bonus rare Jacobi tale and an introduction by Luigi Musolino. "One of the finest writers to come out of the golden age of fantasy."-Stephen King "Makes the blood run cold and the hair stand up on end."-Clifford D. Simak, Minneapolis Star Tribune
