The Best Werewolf Book Ever

[melannen]

What would you say is the Single Best Werewolf Novel Ever Written?

Feel free to rec even if you haven't read all that many; I haven't read that many either. Also: short stories, plays, poems, nonfiction, etc. are okay. I am not looking for TV, movies, or werewolf AU fanfic though.

But Dream's Library-style descriptions of the Best Werewolf Novel you wish had been written but haven't found yet are also okay. :D

I would like a werewolf novel that conscientiously uses the vampire vs werewolf thing as an allegory for Marxist class conflict.

Strangely, I have this vague feeling that I have already read such a thing, but it is very vague. There should definitely be that though, lots of that.

... at least I have this persistent memory-image of a werewolf in a Che beret...

I know I have read an essay somewhere about vampires and werewolves as class allegory, but I haven't come across a book....
