Sharks – the ultimate predators, masters of their watery domain, a world that is entirely alien and inhospitable to man. So many aspects of the shark are associated with humankind’s most primal fears. The tell-tale dorsal fin slicing through the water, the dead eyed-stare, the gaping jaws full to unforgiving teeth, the remorseless drive to kill and feed… Inspired by such classic pulp movies as Jaws and Deep Blue Sea – as well as such ludicrous delights as Sharknado and Mega Shark vs Giant Octopus – the stories contained within are rip-roaring page-turners and slow-build chillers that celebrate all things savage, pulp and selachian. Covering the whole range of speculative fiction genres, from horror and Steampunk, through to SF and WTF, these are stories with bite! Come on in. The water’s fine…
A primal fear of the ocean's apex predator is unleashed in a collection of speculative fiction tales. These stories explore humanity's deepest anxieties surrounding sharks, drawing inspiration from pulp classics and modern B-movies. The collection spans various speculative fiction genres, including horror, steampunk, science fiction, and more experimental 'WTF' narratives. Each tale promises a thrilling or chilling experience, focusing on the savage, pulp-infused, and selachian nature of these creatures.
This collection appears to be a genre-bending anthology that leans into the visceral and often terrifying aspects of sharks, blending them with speculative fiction elements. The inspiration from both classic and campy shark-themed media suggests a tone that is likely to be both thrilling and potentially over-the-top. The variety of genres promised indicates an aim to appeal to a broad audience within the speculative fiction readership, offering a mix of suspense, action, and perhaps even dark humor.
