East of Samarinda

East of Samarinda is a collection of stories by author Carl Jacobi. It was released in 1989 by Bowling Green State University Popular Press. Although Jacobi is known mostly for his horror and science fiction stories, this book collects adventure stories set in Borneo and the South Seas. The collection was edited by Carl Jacobi and R. Dixon Smith. Jacobi also provides a preface and Smith wrote the introduction ("Open Hell Without Quarter").

The stories 21 originally appeared in pulp magazines such as Thrilling Adventure and are reprinted in facsimile from the original pulps in which they appeared, including illustrations.

Setting
Fourteen of the short stories are set in Dutch East Borneo, two in British North Borneo, two in New Guinea, two in the South Seas (South China Sea, East China Sea and Southern Pacific Ocean) and one off the coast of the Unfederated Malay States.
