Sharkdom

Having once tasted blood, sharkdom, like despotism, kept a look-out for victims to devour by "right divine" in any unhappy waifs or strays of humanity daring enough to venture into the water.

How strange to discover the only novel to be Peter Benchley's outrageous tale of demonic sharkdom, Jaws.

McHenry had been pilloried as an enemy of sharkdom after he had caught four large great whites at the Farallons in a single day in 1982.
