Gene Gregorits

Justin Gene Gregorits (born November 5, 1976) is an American writer, editor, publisher, and convicted sex offender under Florida law; his offence is not considered a felony in 40 US states and most countries in the world.

Gregorits' most recent works have been described as having running themes of poverty, sexual deviance, trauma, mental illness, violence, multi-substance abuse and death.

[1] He has said that early influences on his writing included Charles Bukowski and Louis-Ferdinand Céline,[2] although his more recent work is more robustly structured and bears comparison to Joyce, Dostoyevsky and Melville.

Forthcoming titles include 'Nick Zedd', 'Bigger Than Life at the Edge of the City', 'Dog Days 2025' (a revamp of the original book) and the banned 'My Kate Like The Seashore', which will be published in a redacted form if legal objections can't be negotiated successfully.
