I just read this in an Amazon review:
"The next few years would see bookshelves stuffed with grue dripping books about killer cats, dogs, bats, crabs, slugs (yes, I said slugs), spiders, jellyfish, and assorted other nasties."
Now, this particular theme is a favorite of mine - any creature will do, as long as they're having a munch.
All the animals listed are well known to me in one fictional horror or another (or several) - but the last one, "Jellyfish" caught my attention.
Nope, I can't name a single killer Jellyfish book. Can anyone enlighten me, or have I been too gullible?

I have 'The Medusa Horror' by Drew Lamark (Futura 1983). Not read it but blurb speaks of a 'ghastly swell of venomous jellyfish' that 'exude aggression'. Some supernatural mumbo-jumbo may also be at work, as 'ensnarled in their slime is a horrible assortment of malevolent creatures intent on destruction'.
Killer jellyfish also feature in Glenn Chandler's 'The Sanctuary', amongst other rampaging animals.

Thanks guys!
Okay - so there ARE some jellyfish books (even if one includes what might be possessed jellyfish).
Sounds terrific!

"The Adventure of the Lion's Mane", one of the later Conan Doyle Sherlock Holmes stories, features death by jellyfish.
