Close to Shore: A True Story of Terror in an Age of Innocence is a non-fiction book by journalist Michael Capuzzo about the Jersey Shore shark attacks of 1916. The book was published in 2001 by Broadway Books.
According to a reviewer writing for the New Yorker, it is an "adventure classic".[1] The factual content and backgrounds were based on Richard Fernicola's In Search of the Jersey Man-Eater (1987).[2]
An adapted version, Close to Shore: The Terrifying Shark Attacks of 1916, was published in 2003, aimed at a middle-school audience, with fewer biographical background of the victims.[3] There are photos and news clippings not in the original.[4] Capuzzo's description of the shark's behaviour verges on being anthropomorphic.[5]
