June marked the 50th anniversary of Jaws hitting the big screen – celebrating five decades of people refusing to go back in the water. But long before the film, Peter Benchley’s novel was already circling the bestseller lists.
This Folio turns the suspense up to eleven. A retro cover that channels 1970s paperbacks and sun-faded movie posters. And Hokyoung Kim's terrifying illustrations, which get right under the skin – and into the water. Even the shark on the slipcase has menace in its simplicity.
Half a century on, Jaws still delivers the perfect summer scare. If you haven’t read the original, now’s the time.
