The Last Drive by Carl Jacobi

A short story of a grisly ride through a blizzard with a corpse! The Last Drive by Carl Jacobi, that’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, with at least one lost vintage sci-fi short story in every episode.

Carl Richard Jacobi was an author and lifelong resident of Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Born in Minneapolis in 1908, Jacobi was a voracious reader as a youngster, reading Jules Verne, Edgar Allan Poe, and H. G. Wells. He was also a writer early in life. In junior high, he created his own dime novels and sold them to fellow students.

After college, he followed a career path chosen by many aspiring writers—that of a newspaper reporter for the Minneapolis Star.

His first short story, Mive, appeared in Minnesota Quarterly in 1928. Jacobi would go on to write more than 100 short stories during a career that spanned more than 60 years.

His sixth published story appeared in the June 1933 issue of Weird Tales. Turn to page 778 for The Last Drive by Carl Jacobi…
