PopHorror Let's Get Scared
The Despicable Fantasies of Quentin Sergenov is the latest book from one of my favorite authors, Preston Fassel. You can read our interview with Preston as well here. A few years ago, I had the opportunity to read his book, Our Lady of The Inferno. You can read that review here. As I stated at the end of that article, I was impatiently waiting for more of Preston Fassel’s writing. The wait is over! He’s back with The Despicable Fantasies of Quentin Sergenov. Read on for my spoiler free review!
The Despicable Fantasies of Quentin Sergenov Synopsis:
His name was Quentin Sergenov – the unexpected hero of the 90s wrestling scene. A middle-aged bruiser called up to the big leagues on the eve of what should’ve been his retirement, his story of late-in-life success and can-do attitude won the hearts of fans all over the world- and the heart of Wave, his in-ring rival. The two shared a forbidden love that was doomed from the start; but the end of their affair would prove to be the beginning of something terrible for Quentin…
His name is Quentin Sergenov – recluse, artist, romantic. Something happened to Quentin after he was cast out of the wrestling world: something that left him less—and more—than human. Now that he’s been given a second chance, Quentin is about to go on a quest—one that will find him crossing paths with Nazi scientists, internet celebrities, sci-fi groupies, and bodybuilding CEOs. It’s a quest to reunite with Wave and finally take back what was stolen from them; and the results will be as gruesome as they are hilarious…
My Thoughts
This is a novella at about 80 pages, so I’ll keep my review short and sweet.
I have read this story twice. The second time was even better than the first. I love everything about it. The story is a nonstop thrill ride. It’s so crazy but in a good way. Preston has a way with developing both relatable characters and story you can’t get enough of. He makes excellent use of pop culture references intertwined within the story. Sixteen Candles and Star Trek? Intriguing! The story also reminded me of John Waters which is never a bad thing.
