Gary Bruce is a slacker of epic loserness. Can't keep a job. His friends are as bad as he is. No girlfriend. No direction. Gary Bruce is also a werewolf. Desperate for any kind of success, Gary decides to out himself on YouTube. The moment this ordinary guy goes full-on fur, fangs, and claws, the world can't get enough of him. He's the biggest thing on social media, he's on every talk show, book and movie deals fall in his lap, and for the first time in his life he gets invited to all the best parties. But celebrity is a special kind of voracious monster. And when Gary's star begins to lose its luster, he has to decide how far he'll go to stay relevant in a world that discards has-beens in favor of the next big thing. Fortunately, Gary has a plan.... "The Werewolf's 15 Minutes" is a brand-new short story by New York Times best seller and five-time Bram Stoker Award winner Jonathan Maberry, author of Bewilderness and V-Wars (Netflix).

This was a lot of fun. It took a little while for me to get to grips with it, mainly because I had no sympathy for Gary and his two stoner friends, but I was pulled in by the humour around social media and by the plausibility of this hard-to-credit story. I love the idea that a guy makes a video of himself turning into a werewolf and all anyone wants to know is what app he used to fake the transition.
I liked that, halfway through the story, after satirising the way social media creates celebrities and destroys them, the focus moved to Gary and what his life had been like and the story deepened and darkened.
What I liked most was the ending. I didn't see it coming but when we got there, it was perfect. (
