It's a fucking mess of despicable truths stranger than fiction that has left this community I love reeling in the aftermath. It’s monstrous how much damage and harm was caused by such epic deceit and web of lies spanning nearly two decades. Though, I’ll say that it disgusts me to my core that anyone who came into contact with this author - from readers to authors (including co-authors), to those who were barely even in ‘his’ orbit and those who were close friends - are all victims of such a far-reaching deception. I’m not here to write a think piece on the matter, plenty are out there, and I’d just be repeating what’s already been said. In the days surrounding, ties with this author were severed with ‘his’ agent and most (if not all) publishers including Riptide, Dreamspinner, Berkley, and…probably others.
On or about March 9, 2018, the news broke far and wide that the author known as Santino Hassell is a catfish, abusive, predatory, a master manipulator…and the list of sociopathic adjectives could go on from what I’ve gathered. It isn’t until Kennedy forces the Caroway’s secrets into the light that Jeremy realizes belonging sometimes comes with a price. Kennedy suspects there’s something off about the creepy mansion and its mysterious owners, but Jeremy thinks he’s finally found somewhere he fits. Tempers flare, sexual tension boils over into frustration, and Jeremy turns away from the band to find a friend in his eerily beautiful landlord Hunter Caroway. They had planned to spend six weeks focusing on new music but things go awry as soon as they arrive at the long-deserted Caroway mansion. Still, hoping to get close to Kennedy, the band’s enigmatic guitarist, he follows Stygian to northern Louisiana for a summer retreat. He thought the indie rock band Stygian would become his anchor, but-lost in their own problems-they’re far from the family he sought.
Most people just see him as the skinny emo kid who wears eyeliner and plays drums. Jeremy has been isolated and adrift since the death of his brother.
