Middleton was a regular contributor to Gawsworth's Thrills collections, and is probably best known for his jokey The Ghost Ship, which is kind of ironic as he was actually a very tragic figure who suffered with depression, endured poverty for much of his writing career and eventually committed suicide in 1911, a year short of his thirtieth birthday. There should be a few plot outlines in the Gruesome Cargoes section and more spread out over the Fontana Ghost's and beyond. My preference is for his sadder (On The Brighton Road), grimmer (The Wrong Turning) work, but his non-supernatural The Hand in Crimes, Creeps & Thrills is worth a go if you want cheering up, mainly for the delightfully mischievous Lady Arabella!
