Frederick Pohl’s scifi novel A Plague of Pythons dates from 1962. A man is about to be executed but he has a defence - he was possessed at the time. But it’s not demons doing the possessing. Lots of paranoia and despair. Good book.

The Sea Girl is a 1930 lost world novel by Ray Cummings dealing with a lost world in the deeps of the ocean. As a bonus, there are mermaids. Of a sort. There's also a beautiful but evil undersea empress and atomic submarines. A fine adventure.
