Read about another book on the list.The Deep by Alma Katsu
While a shark isn’t the predator in this chilling novel by Alma Katsu, the story does fall into the aquatic horror genre. This book also shares another neat connection with Jaws, as it’s inspired by historical events from the early 1900s, just as Benchley drew inspiration for his book from a series of shark attacks in 1916. After a number of passengers aboard the ill-fated Titanic experience uncanny deaths and disappearances, they begin to believe sinister forces may be at work. A few years later, Titanic survivor Annie works as a nurse aboard the Titanic’s sister ship, the Britannic, and makes a disturbing discovery.
