Rare Encounters with Sea Beasts and Other Divine Phenomena
Thirty West Publishing
Rare Encounters with Sea Beasts and Other Divine Phenomena is about memory and giant squid. It’s about losing a childhood friend and being disappointed by God before your eighth birthday. It’s about praying, but instead of actually praying you go off hunting a giant squid like it were some sort of God-surrogate. It’s about loneliness and yearning and searching—sometimes for giant squid. It’s about the inability to properly understand friendships and love far too deep into a life. It’s made up of 12 pieces of flash and microfiction that tell 12 interconnected stories that span a single lifetime.

With a Difference w/Francis Daulerio
Trident Press
Barnes & Noble
Amazon
A cross-genre collection of poetry and prose by Francis Daulerio and Nick Gregorio. Inspired in part by vinyl records, and a split album by NoFX and Rancid from back in 2003 in which the bands covered each other’s songs, this book features twenty “covers”—Gregorio has adapted ten of Daulerio’s poems into short stories, and Daulerio has morphed ten of Gregorio’s stories into poems. To add to the music-inspired release, the book features two “front” covers created by Adde Russell—the mastermind behind the artwork of Death Cab for Cutie’s Transatlanticism and Plans—and will literally need to be flipped over to read each “side” of the book.

Dramatic, violent, comical, sad, and occasionally hopeful, Nick Gregorio’s first collection of short stories puts the human need to connect on display with grit, humor, and compassion.
