However, upon returning from their brief attempt at research, they encounter the thuggish extra Arthur and his similarly drunken pals. And then the bloated corpse of Pete is washed up beside them, a flesh-eating jellyfish devouring the young victim’s face.Īs horrified as they are baffled by the jellyfish’s actions, Ewing together with his close journalist friend Jane Lowe, go off to the local library in order to hopefully identify the jellyfish that was making short work of the corpse’s facial features.
After receiving a highly unnecessary punch from a brutish extra by the name of Arthur, a punch that was far more real than the script called for, Ewing is getting close to his snapping point. However, the filming hasn’t been going too well for the young star.
The rest of the young lad’s painful life can be countered in mere minutes.Įlsewhere, actor Tim Ewing is on set at a seaside resort in South Wales for the filming of the popular TV series ‘The Chronicles Of Gulliver’. After being hit by the sail boom and then losing his footing in the small vessel, the youngster falls overboard and into the cold sea water where waiting throngs of the flesh-hungry jellyfish are waiting. When seventeen-year-old Pete takes a dinghy out into the sea around the Welsh coastline, he soon realises his anger at his sister, Jenny, has somewhat clouded his judgement. However it’s not long before the jellyfishes next meal is coming their way. The bloated corpses imprisoned within the gloomy confines becoming an unsuspected new meal for the deadly marine beasts. On the seabed, a sunken cargo ship has offered up the first taste of human flesh for the jellyfish. The trilogy kicked-off with the first novel ‘ Slither’ (1980) and was finished off with the last book in the trilogy ‘ Squelch’ (1985). First published back in April of 1984, British author John Halkin’s pulp horror novel ‘Slime’ was the second book in the ‘Slither-Slime-Squelch’ creepy-crawly trilogy.
