Disclosures in Scarlet is a collection of stories by author Carl Jacobi. It was released in 1972 and was the author's third collection of stories published by Arkham House. It was published in an edition of 3,127 copies. The stories had been published originally in earlier anthologies edited by August Derleth or in the magazines Galaxy, If, Fantastic Universe and Thrilling Wonder Stories. The volume is dedicated to the memory of Jacobi's mother.

Frank Utpatel's cover illustration depicts "The Unpleasantness at Carver House": through a moonlit window a man watches four lanky red-eyed ghosts, one a girl's, capering on the weedy lawn outside, against the cemetery across the road.
