Peter Benchley - Jaws (1974)



Benchley's novel, while better known as the source material for Steven Spielberg's classic movie, has earned its own stripes as a small gem of suspense fiction. With another summer fast approaching, audio listeners may be interested in revisiting the town of Amity, Long Island, and getting back in the water. The experience, of course, is markedly different from Spielberg's film, offering shocks less visceral and more contemplative. Read by John Guerrasio for BBC 7 Radio UK.
