Man-Eating Sharks Chaos!!!! Great Whites, Bulls, What else?

This was one of my favorite short-story scary books ever!!!!!! The author did a great job on describing the victim's deaths and the sharks that attacked them. Here's my listing of the stories below. 1. Endless Blue **** I thought the idea of having a 12-year old going shark-photographing with his father in the middle of the ocean in a shark cage was great. Especially when he learns that the metal suits they wear causes the sharks to mistake them for prey. They were just going to photograph blue sharks, but then makos, blacktips, and a tiger shark come and try to kill them. The final scene with the Great White was awesome. I didn't rate this 5 stars because of Travis's father's death. 2. Megamouth ***** Just like it sounds. A prehistoric shark, CACHARODON MEGALODON, aka Megamouth lives near a Central American fishing village. 13-year old Ruben Ortiz and his parents are there to study prehistoric fossils of sharks until they find one tooth of a living Megamouth. Ruben then begins to have visions of people being devoured, including fisherman, his mom, and even himself. Eventually, they all come true. 3. Old Whitetip **** A 65-year old man tells his grandson the story of when he was a marine biologist and studied whitetip sharks. One day, these cruel fisherman decided to attract a school of whitetips by bloody fish bait and when the sharks came close, they threw grenades down and shredded them. After awhile they start to get tired of when "The One" comes. Old Whitetip. A 50-foot long shark that destroys the boat, kills the fisherman, and then lets his school of whitetips devour them. 4. No More Bull ***** The title is a joke on the word bull****. Two boys, Billy and Steve, know that only three weeks of summer vacation remain before 8th grade. That means running into Forrest Post, the school bully. He once stuffed Billy into the cafeteria trash can to impress Danielle, the lead cheerleader. Along with that, he has two henchmen, Chester and Ed. One day they hear a report of a fisherman reeling in a severed human foot, which belongs to the school principal Mr. Sidoti. After that, they tell Poppy Z [They're orphans] about it. He tells them about the story he heard about the same thing. On the last week of summer vacation though, Forrest and his henchmen along with Danielle decide to come and attack. In the fight, Ed, Chester, and Billy are pushed into the water. Suddenly, a bull shark attacks. That's all I'm going to tell. 5. Future Shark **** The one I read the least. In the year 2065, 14-year old Tess and 12-year old brother Dan have managed to keep the only remaining Great White in the world as an experiment. Humans now live underwater in vast cities like Atlantis. The Land Lords however, live supreme above land. Commander Sharr, the leader of them, knows Tess and her lab, but not about her Great White. Eventually, he comes to that the reason theirs no lab rats is that Tess is feeding them to something. He ends up getting torn and shredded to or
