Editor's note on the dust jacket, 'For a decade and a half Carl Jacobi has been steadily and unobtrusively writing tales of fantasy, the weird, and science-fiction. They have appeared in print in a variety of magazines, beginning with Weird Tales, and many readers of those magazines remember such startling stories as Revelations in Black — perhaps the most memorable vampire tale ever published in the early years of that magazine, Phantom Brass, The Cane, Carnaby’s Fish, Mive, The Face in the Wind, The Tomb from Beyond, and others; these and more than a dozen other tales are collected here in Mr. Jacobi’s first book.'
