It was an episode of the original The Avengers from the 4th season Episode 10 called the Man-Eater of Surrey green. It aired originally in 1965
I guess my point is that it hasn't been done to death, and I haven't seen any example of it before. There's a theory that there isn't any original ideas for stories since Shakespeare, that they all follow the same basic format. I never doubted that it's been done before, I just didn't know where.

I loved that novel as well. However it was about humans evolving telepathic powers after a nuclear holocaust. For some reason I got the biggest kick out of the fact it was set in Labrador.
