A Pro Wrestler Becomes a Monster in Preston Fassel’s Novella ‘The Despicable Fantasies of Quentin Sergenov’

Two of my favorite things, horror and pro wrestling collide in Preston Fassel‘s novella The Despicable Fantasies of Quentin Sergenov, on the way from Encyclopocalypse Publications.

The new novella from the award-winning novelist and Fangoria scribe is going to print this year as part of an LGBT charity initiative, the official press release explains.

The Despicable Fantasies of Quentin Sergenov is a horror-comedy set against the backdrop of the 90s pro-wrestling boom and concerns an athlete who—after he’s outed by a homophobic coworker—finds himself transformed into a prehistoric monster, prompting him to make an attempt to reintegrate into society with unexpectedly humorous- and gruesome- results.

“One of my big inspirations as a writer was John Waters,” Fassel says of the story’s origins. “I watched every movie of his I could get my hands on in college, and he was instrumental in my growth as a creator. He’s still one of my favorite filmmakers. I asked myself, ‘What if Female Trouble-era John Waters had been given a million dollars and asked to make a horror movie? That’s where Quentin came from. It’s sillier than anything I’ve ever written but it’s also got a core of real sentimentality, and an antihero I hope the LGBT community will love.”

The book will feature a cover painted by Dallas artist Dan Gremminger, in the style he utilizes in Pop Portraits, an ongoing series of pop-art inspired portraits of prominent contemporary and historical figures that’s been displayed throughout Texas.

35% of profits from Quentin will go to The Trevor Project, a non-profit focused on suicide prevention efforts among LGBT youth. “There was a lot of negativity in the horror world in 2020, and I had to do a lot of soul searching about who I am as a person and what responsibilities I have to the horror community,” Fassel says. “I asked Mark, what if instead of collecting all my royalties, we gave some to charity instead? And Mark loved the idea and was on board 100%.”

The Despicable Fantasies of Quentin Sergenov is scheduled for release June 2021.

The Top 10 Streaming Scary Movies of Today (According to Netflix)

Given that Netflix really is the master of their own data, how many times a viewer streams The Ridiculous 6, or what films don't get watched all the way straight through, or how many times someone watches an episode of Bill Nye Saves the World, it was easy for them to come up with the list based on just one percentage: 70 percent.
