Dancing with Mermaids
Dancing With Mermaids is the second novel by the English writer Miles Gibson. An erotic exercise in magic realism set in the secluded fishing village of Rams Horn, once a fashionable Regency spa, at the mouth of the River Sheep, somewhere on the Dorset coast. In the novel Rams Horn is described by the author as ‘a memory, a lost cause, a carnival of ghosts, an ark of half-forgotten dreams’. It's a secretive place ‘full of leery, venal, outsize, hideous and beautiful people’ - declared The Financial Times, in a story The New Yorker described as ‘a wild, funny, poetic exhalation that sparkles and hoots and flies’.[1] First published by William Heinemann, London, 1985. ISBN 0-434-29131-5. First US edition published by EP Dutton 1986. Reprinted in the UK by the Do Not Press 1997.
