Synopsis
A splendidly macabre achievement. As an account of a descent into homicidal mania, it has seldom been bettered."" - Time Out. ""Confounds received notions of good taste-unspeakable acts are reported with an unwavering reasonableness essential to the comic impact and attesting to the deftness of Gibson's control"" - T.L.S. Black comedy has never been blacker. Growing up in a small hotel in a shabby seaside town, Mackerel Burton has no idea that he is to grow up to become a slick and ruthless serial killer. A lonely boy, he amuses himself by perfecting his conjuring tricks, but slowly the magic turns to a darker kind, and soon he finds himself stalking the streets in search of random and innocent victims. He has become The Sandman.

From Library Journal
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.
