Richard Middleton is one of the many authors who, despite great merit, have been almost entirely forgotten today. This English author was an eminent literary figure in his day, admired by, among others, Edgar Jepson, Arthur Machen, and Raymond Chandler. This collection of short stories contains his best-known short story, The Ghost Ship, a skillfully written horror story. The other stories contained in this collection are not all horror stories, but cover a variety of genres and topics. - Summary by Carolin (5 hr 39 min)

Most of the stories just stop without any real ending. I rewound a few thinking that I had missed something but no. I wondered why the partial story was being told after many of them, too. I can't understand why anyone published this book. Listen to a couple just to see how bad these are. There's only one ESL reader that makes you unable to follow that story due to her heavy accent & large amount of mispronounced words.

Uh...No

None of the stories would work! I couldn't hear them about 75% of the time and when I did it was super faint. Believe me I had the volume at max. You might have better luck than me on thhs but I do not think so.

The ghost ship, excellent story full of atmosphere. the rest really of no consequence whatsoever mostly well read apart from one which was incomprehensible due to the poor English pronunciation of the reader
