Obsessed with all things gruesome and horrible, he delights in reading accounts of murders in the newspaper and leaving rotting animal corpses on his neighbor's doorstep. Much to his joy, a murderous lunatic has arrived in Middenshot, slitting villagers' throats by night in the foggy lanes. But his daughter Grace is worried. Why is her father going out late at night, and just what is he hiding in the coal shed? When two rather unconventional detectives come to town on the case, strange truths will be revealed and things will never again be the same in Middenshot. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA strange mix of Gothic horror and morbid black humor, infused with the author's controversial ideas on treatment of criminals and the mentally insane, \u003cem\u003eThe Weather in Middenshot \u003c\/em\u003e(1952) is one of the most unusual novels by Edgar Mittelholzer (1900-1965), one of the first great Caribbean novelists and author of the classic horror stories \u003cem\u003eMy Bones and My Flute\u003c\/em\u003e (1955) and \u003cem\u003eEltonsbrody \u003c\/em\u003e(1960).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"A most bizarre and entertaining book.\" - \u003cem\u003eWestern Morning News\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"[D]ifferent ... original ... the style is refreshing ...
