However, after his untimely passing, his works fell into obscurity for sixty years. In 1978, Hugh Lamb began to revive Capes's reputation by including 'The Moon Stricken' in his anthology, Forgotten Tales of Terror. The following year, Lamb featured two of Capes's finest stories, 'The Green Bottle' and 'An Eddy on the Floor,' in Tales from a Gas-Lit Graveyard, sparking renewed interest among fans of classic supernatural tales. By 1989, Lamb edited The Black Reaper for the Equation Chillers series, solidifying Capes's status as a master of weird fiction.
