Why aren't you writing (#3) ... Werewolf Gatsby?

Imagine how excited high schoolers would be to read this! Gatsby is a guy with a secret: on certain nights, he turns into a wolf-monster. (If you were to write the modern-day satire of this--and yes, I have--Gatsby would turn into a working class guy. How horrific for his rich twit guests to discover that their host had turned into their waiter!)

And though this mix obviously came to me when thinking about Gatsby, we could expand it to the wider genre of Roaring Twenties/Gilded Age fiction: anything where we have rich people going around, ignoring or exploiting the poor or trying desperately to escape the ranks of the poor.

You might argue that vampires are the perfect monster to talk about the rich, which, well, you're not wrong about. With compound interest and some safe investing, most long-lived vampires should be rich. But Great Gatsby isn't about rich people only: it's about people who may (or may not) be rich who are very insecure about their status.

Which is why I think werewolves are the perfect monster-metaphor to explore this issue. Also, wouldn't it be amazing to see a werewolf rampage through some decadent 1920s speakeasy? Imagine what Baz Luhrmann's Great Gatsby would be like with werewolves.
