In the summer of 1916, twelve days of terror along the New Jersey shore changed America forever. In this deep-dive, Fear & Wine traces every shark attack from the death of Charles Vansant in Beach Haven on July 1st to the catastrophic events at Matawan Creek on July 12th, and unpacks the history, science, panic, and enduring mystery that made these twelve days the inspiration for one of cinema's greatest horror films, Jaws. Pour something good and dive in. A special bonus episode about the true shark attack stories that inspired Jaws.
