Conversations - Bad Taste Books & The Book Graveyard
Sunday, 26 July, 2026

Paperback Warrior joins forces with Bryan from Bad Taste Books and Nick from The Book Graveyard for a lively discussion of Shark Fighter, Len Levinson's outrageous 1976 cult paperback from Belmont Tower. The trio explores the explosion of shark-themed fiction inspired by the blockbuster success of Jaws, the stunt-driven marketing craze of the 1970s, and why books like Shark Fighter became unforgettable pieces of pop culture. Along the way, the conversation also touches on books by Jim Thompson, Clark Howard, and Dan Streib, making this a fun deep dive into vintage paperbacks, pulp fiction, and the era that produced them.
