Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Slime is an eco-horror novel written by William Essex ("Author of The Pack," trumpets the cover). Toxic dumpings of rejected PCB near the small town of Helby, Iowa result in the creation of a living lake of ravenous toxic waste that consumes everything in its path, beginning with animals in the forest and then moving on to livestock and people. Only bank loan officer Tim Walker, together with the local cops, can stop the oozing green menace.Not to be confused with the short story of the same name by Joseph Payne Brennan.

Artistic License – Biology: Everything about the slime (which is living PCB), from how it dissolves and absorbs people to how it's even alive. When looked at under a microscope, it is discovered that its individual cells have mouths with tiny sharp teeth!

comment
The Cassandra: Chief Simpson's efforts to tell the townsfolk about the slime are met with jeers and jokes about The Blob. Cassandra Truth: Fortunately for Simpson's dignity, teenager Terry Ralston comes tearing up in his truck yelping about the slime eating Mr. Turncock's cows, and the citizens finally start listening.

Big-Breast Pride: Jodean Maiden has "the biggest breasts in town". Because she and her husband agree with the Buxom Beauty Standard, it's a source of pride for both of them.

Blob Monster: A lake of living toxic waste that eats animals and people. Although given the manner in which it tends to spread itself out into puddles, it's really more of a Muck Monster in some cases.
