Jaws

Jaws: the classic horror that inspired the blockbuster Steven Spielberg movie.

The classic novel that became a cult Steven Spielberg movie.

Jaws by Peter Benchley first appeared in 1974. Alongside Steven Spielberg's film adaptation, the novel has sold over 20 million copies around the world, becoming a cult classic.

It's never safe to go back in the water . . .

It was just another day in the life of a small Atlantic resort until the terror from the deep came to prey on unwary holidaymakers. The first sign of trouble, a warning of what was to come, took the form of a young woman's body—or what was left of it—washed up on the long, white stretch of beach.

A summer of terror has begun . . .

Pick up Jaws before midnight, read the first five pages, and I guarantee you'll be putting it down breathless and stunned, as dawn is breaking the next day. - Daily Express
