Running Wild

Jim is sick of his grueling life. Each day is the same: he works, he eats, he sleeps, only when sleep comes so do the nightmares, nightmares of turning into a beast, running wild, and killing for sport. Worst yet, he can’t remember who he is or where he came from, but those around him claim he’s always been there and always will be. It isn’t until the night Jim sees a beast in his basement that he begins to finally understand and transform into what rests just beneath his skin.

A wild animal board book
