Book excerpt: Roger Kolak has a problem. He keeps changing into a monstrous tiger. The victim of a shamans curse, Kolak must do all he can to try to become free once again. The story of a man and his efforts to break the curse are based upon true events that can be found in the annals of psychology. Known as clinical lycanthropy, people believe they are bound to transform into various animals unless they can break the original curse. Kolaks story includes shamans, witches and werebeasts. He must do all he can to prevent the tiger from capturing his soul, and in doing so, learn about the origins of the human beast. Based upon folklore from around the world and real-life episodes rooted in primitive fear, The Incredible Tiger-Man is a story that will have you riveted to the page until the nightmare has ended. It is a story of one womans love and the fear of a violent world.
