My Rose & My Glove

Darkside Press is pleased to announce the imminent release of the first collection of stories by Harvey Jacobs in thirty-five years! The 1969 volume The Egg of the Glak and Other Stories collected Mr. Jacobs's early work and remains a volume sought after by collectors. Drawn from sources such as The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction, Omni, New Worlds, and various anthologies, this volume presents a retrospective of Mr. Jacobs's work since 1970.

Those of you as yet unfamiliar with his stories are about to make the acquaintance of strange aliens, talking fish, Tibetan llamas, breeders of rare dogs, synchronous swimmers, and peculiar junk shop owners (and those are just some of the people you'll find in these pages). You're about to be introduced to one of America's most remarkable storytellers... Depending on who you talk to, Harvey Jacobs is a modern surrealist, perhaps the greatest Jewish fantasist since Singer, a science-fiction writer, or simply a great storyteller... All of these assessments are correct; Harvey's all of that and more...
