Download Close to Shore: The Terrifying Shark Attacks of 1916 (Adapted for Young People edition) AudioBook Free
The summertime of 1916 was brutally hot, generating thousands to the Jersey Shore to enjoy the newfangled activity of swimming in the sea, and a good swimmer could strut his stuff in front of an appreciative audience. But pleasure considered horror as a killer invaded this idyllic scene - with never a alert and showing no mercy to its patients. Soon the seashores were filled with screams as this monster of the sea dragged unsuspecting vacationers down under the waves, chomping off limbs and going out of pools of blood vessels and horrified onlookers in its wake. Just how many deaths would it take prior to the truth relating to this terrifying monster would be known? History and hubris. Theatre and daring. Science and sizzle. It's all within one package, brought to life by the amazing tone of voice of Taylor Mali.
