“Sagasta’s Last”
The mystery of a sister’s death becomes revealed through spectral images viewed through a telescope. Originally published in the August 1939 issue of Strange Stories.
“The Tomb From Beyond”
An excellent, Lovecraft-like tale of a lost civilization, sea monsters, and strange artifacts. There is a nod to a science-like explanation for the weirdness, but it’s minimal.

“The Satanic Piano”
Kind of a mad scientist story, but including black magic, mesmerism, and telepathy. A piano that can register, play, and record the musical thoughts of a composer could be even better if it could compose music on its own. Originally published in the May 1934 issue of Weird Tales.

“Canal”
A sci-fi story! I didn’t know Jacobi also wrote sci-fi. This one is a pretty good mystery/Martian caper, involving an ancient Martian canal and a supposed valuable lode. Unfortunately, it ends rather abruptly and unsatisfyingly. Originally published in the Spring 1944 issue of Startling Stories.

The titular story in the collection. The danger of books and imagination. They can lead you to dark places that threaten your soul. An interesting addition to vampire lore. Originally published in Weird Tales in April 1933.
