In 1972, Arkham House published Jacobi's third collection of weird fiction, "Disclosures in Scarlet". Don Herron, writing in Jack Sullivan's "Penguin Encyclopedia of Horror and the Supernatural", calls Jacobi's 1972 story "The Unpleasantness at Carver House" his masterpiece - "a ghoulish tale of horror and madness that may rank with the best work of Robert Aickman and Walter de la Mare in its brilliant use of suggestion. A feeling of unease pervades the story, and its many macabre implications prey on the imagination long after the last sentence is read."
