'''''The Sport of Ghost Wrestling''''' is a new{{when}} book of the fantasy/science fiction genre written by [[Overly Long Name|Demetrios Anagnostopoulos]], the first volume in a series yet to be named.
It centers on the story of Demetrios Anagnostopoulos, a man who has recently become a ghost. The good news is that he gets a lot of cool new powers with it. The bad news is he loses his memories of his mortal life. He decides to use his powers to create a new sport that proves [[Serious Business|to be quite the hit]], and also hopes to find out what happened to his missing wife Lily. However, there are other forces at work, especially when an insidious cult that calls itself "the Island" comes into play. Demetrios is then thrust into protecting the world from this bizarre cult, and discover the truth of his past.
''The Sport of Ghost Wrestling'' can be found (and purchased) [http://www.lulu.com/product/hardcover/the-sport-of-ghost-wrestling/16162208?productTrackingContext=search_results/search_shelf/center/1 here]. The sequel (yes, there's a sequel in the works), known as ''The Return of Mephistopheles: World War III'' will become available this summer.{{when}}

* [[Everything's Better with Monkeys]]: Aristotle, the chimpanzee that knows karate (we know, chimpanzees aren't monkeys).
Line 34:
* [[Mutants]]: The mutants Mephistopheles creates are [[Mix-and-Match Critters]] that have the ability to regenerate lost limbs and for the severed parts to turn into copies of their owner. Only by attacking its weak point will the mutant stay dead.
* [[Ninja]]: "The Island" employs a few of them.
* [[Noodle Incident]]: While swimming home from "the Island" for the first escape, Demetrios gets stuck in the Bermuda Triangle (yes, he went the long way; around South America), but doesn't really describe what happened in there. Of course, given the super-weird reputation of the Bermuda Triangle, it would probably just be a [[
* [[One-Man Army]]: More like a four-man army: Demetrios, Max, Mothman, and Aristotle.
* [[Our Ghosts Are Different]]: Ghosts in this book have the following powers and abilities: they can fly, turn invisible, walk through walls, shapeshift, [[Big Eater|need to eat a lot to recharge after intense battles]], don't age (they get to look as how they looked during the best moments of their lives) and have a [[Seinfeld|super sense of humor]].
