In Gene Gregorits' latest, Fishhook (Monastrell Books), he takes a break from his Dog Days series, which has won him a mountain of small press support while also inviting hellish scorn since its emergence last year. Throughout this new volume's 432 pages, we experience the notorious cult writer and well-known Facebook abuser's oftentimes hazardous day-to-day life with both humor and a terrifying clinical detachment. Fishhook is the first book of its kind: a literary anthology comprised entirely of status updates. It works as a conceptual coffee table piece, but fans of his novels can investigate this collection as a real life companion to both Dog Days and Johnny Behind the Deuce

Gene Gregorits was born in Harrisburg, PA. He is the founder and former publisher of Sex & Guts Magazine, an independent arts and culture journal that ran from 1997 to 2004. His subcultural essays and interviews were collected in the book Midnight Mavericks (FAB Press, 2007), while his prose writing has appeared in numerous magazines, newspapers, and literary anthologies, most recently Chelsea Hotel Manhattan, Analyzing David Peace, and Paraphilia. His books include Johnny Behind The Deuce, Sex & Guts Anthology, Sex & Guts 4, Midnight Mavericks, Dog Days Volume One, Dog Days Volume Two, Hatchet Job: The Gene Gregorits Reader, and Fishhook. Upcoming books for 2014 and 2015 include: Necropolis Now, Dog Days Volume Three, and Intra-Coastal: One Year on St. Pete Beach. The latter is his most ambitious project to date, an experimental combination of police blotter, drug memoir, and sociological study detailing the crimes and the criminals he observed during his first year living in Florida. Uncomfortable working with others, and having no interest in contemporary literature, Gregorits founded Monastrell Books there in 2012 to release his own work 100% independently. A high school dropout, frequent mental patient, documented auto-cannibal, fixed gear bicyclist, ocean kayaking enthusiast, and dedicated cat lover, he currently lives on St. Pete Beach, FL, where he works as a hurricane window salesman. He is 36 years old. WEBSITE: WWW.MONASTRELLBOOKS.COM
