Trivia: Which estate is located in a fictional town called West Egg?

Castle Dracula
Wuthering Heights
Manderley
The Gatsby Mansion

The correct answer is The Gatsby Mansion

So why is this answer correct? : One of the most famous mansions in literary history belongs to Jay Gatsby. F. Scott Fitzgerald’s 1925 novel, “The Great Gatsby,” is set in New York City and Long Island in the 1920s, but the author took creative liberties when picking the exact location of the mansion. Called seaside West Egg and East Egg, the seaside towns were based on the real Great Neck and Port Washington peninsulas of Long Island. Jay lived in West Egg with other “new money” folks, and threw his dazzling parties there.
