Nick Cave’s Red Right Hand at first sounds like a serial killer with a bloody hand who lurks in the shadows. It’s really a lot of dark personalities rolled in one: drug dealer, pimp, cult leader, mob boss, etc, who corrupt their victims to their eventual demise.
Another Nick Cave classic, The Curse of Millhaven, describes a girl who murders more than a few people in her hometown, before she’s caught and happily confesses to her crimes.
