The Wild is a fantasy novel by American ufologist and horror fiction writer Whitley Strieber that was first published in 1991.
It tells the story of Bob Duke, a failed poet-turned-worker at Sculley-era Apple Computer's New York City branch who can barely pay the bills for his wife and 12-year-old son. However, as his grasp on his family's finances slips by the day, he begins to lose his very physical composition, gradually turning into a wolf. Soon, his wife, son, and therapist all are drawn into his predicament as he seeks to come to terms with what he has become without losing his still-human mind, or his very family.
