This brace of mysteries from the UK were published in 1984 and 1985, respectively, and both explore the dark side of the soul. Dancing with Mermaids follows the odd goings-on in a seaside community, while The Sandman presents a young boy's freefall into loneliness, despair, and insanity as he evolves into a serial killer. Both have slightly erotic overtones. For all mystery collections.
