''Dark of the Moon: Poems of Fantasy and the Macabre'' is a poetry anthology edited by August Derleth and published in 1947 by Arkham House in an edition of 2,634 copies. It is a pioneering anthology of weird poetry from the Middle Ages to the present, arranged chronologically. A publishing curiosity is that this book had two different dustjackets – the only Arkham House book to have this feature. Both states of the jacket feature a background photograph of a mountain, although on the two jackets the image is reversed as compared with each other. The first-state jacket has lettering in green, whereas the second state jacket is lettered in orange and white. The jacket with the green lettering is the first state of the dustjacket (pictured right). Its lettering was rendered by Wisconsin artist Frank Utpatel; the price on this jacket list the book's price as $3.00. This state is the rarer of the two jackets, since a large number of the Utpatel jackets were destroyed by silverfish during storage. The second state dustjacket (orange and white lettering) was redesigned by Gary Gore, who from 1959 on, became increasingly more active in working with August Derleth on Arkham House covers. ==Poets included in Dark of the Moon== *William Blake *Robert Burns *James Hogg *Sir Walter Scott *Samuel Taylor Coleridge *Thomas Moore *Richard Harris Barham *Johann Wolfgang von Goethe *John Keats *Thomas Lovell Beddoes *Rabbi Ben Levi *Henry Wadsworth Longfellow *Edgar Allan Poe *Alfred, Lord Tennyson *William Bell Scott *J.
