bodyhorror gore horror mordern

When a routine skin irritation turns into a living nightmare, a man finds himself infected by something far more sinister than a simple rash. As his body begins to mutate in grotesque and uncontrollable ways, he's drawn into the web of a mysterious biotech organization known as Dermatek. They offer answers-but at a cost no one could survive intact.

What begins as oozing blisters and subdermal twitching quickly evolves into full-scale biological horror: skin that peels like latex to reveal chitin, bones that warp and twist on their own, and the disturbing realization that he's not the only one infected. There's a purpose behind the transformation... and a mother waiting for her children to hatch.

Skin Deep is a visceral journey through the breakdown of the human body and mind-a grotesque metamorphosis set in the heart of a modern city where infection is evolution, and pain is only the beginning.All Rights Reserved

Still Reminiscent (A Pre-Apocalyptic Survival Story) [Discontinued] by skyfleet12z

In the year 2022 a mysterious virus erupts in the city of New Yoke Town. What begins as an isolated outbreak rapidly spirals into a full-blown pre-apocalypse - buildings burn, panic spreads, and humanity is forced to reckon with a world where the living and the dead blur. The story follows multiple survivors - ordinary people thrust into extraordinary circumstances, each trying to stay alive in a world going to hell. We meet a hardened "shotgun fellow" whose past haunts him, a crewman uneasy in this new reality, and numerous others trying to adapt to chaos. As society crumbles, the infected - referred to as "turned" - become relentless predators, and survival becomes a matter of constant flight, distrust, and brutal choices. The narrative explores not just the threat of the virus, but the human cost: betrayal, the breakdown of community, and how people react when the rules no longer apply. Eventually, a powerful corporation called the Revert Corporation takes the blame for the outbreak. A "cure" emerges, but only after waves of death and suffering. Some survivors who receive the cure undergo a strange transformation - gaining new powers, or becoming something beyond mere human. The tone is dark, raw and urgent. There's no fantasy system, no supernatural magic setup - just the nightmare of infection, collapse, and the fight to keep one's humanity. The author notes upfront: graphic violence, profanity, sad endings, survival horror. ------------------ORIGINAL STORY-------------------- All Rights Reserved.

Dissonance - Book One by B_Ander

Ever thought surviving first period-and facing her best friend's boyfriend, whom she recently kissed-would be the hardest part of her day. She was wrong. The world is ending. Literally. Between dodging awkward hallway interactions with her best friend's boyfriend and dodging the apocalypse, Ever discovers she may be the one person capable of saving mankind. No pressure, right? But just when she's barely wrapping her head around her destiny, a mysterious (and annoyingly handsome) stranger shows up. He drives her crazy, yet somehow feels...familiar. And he just might hold the key to unlocking Ever's forgotten past-and to stopping the strange, earth-shattering events unraveling the future. As secrets unfold and loyalties are tested, Ever has to make a choice: walk away from the chaos and pretend the world isn't ending-or embrace her destiny and risk everything to save it. After all, being a teenager is hard. Being the savior of humanity? That's a whole new level. *This is book one in a series

The trauma by ettas69

In the depths of the small town, Queensland, a malevolent entity crashes into the earth, fueled by the darkest corners of human suffering. "The Trauma" takes the shape of past horrors, manifesting as a twisted reflection of the deepest fears and painful memories that haunt its victims. As it feeds on the anguish of loved ones lost, near-death terrors, and the scars of traumatic experiences, The Trauma grows stronger, weaving a web of despair that threatens to consume fear, regrets, and broken dreams until the human only sees darkness. A small group of survivors must unravel the mystery behind The Trauma's existence and face their own demons in order to stop it. But as they delve deeper into the heart of darkness, they realize that some horrors are too great to be vanquished... and that The Trauma may be just the beginning of a nightmare that will haunt them forever.

Behind your Screen (A truth too dark to face) by Survivor_on_Coffee

This book isn't a story. It's a wound, ripped open to show what festers behind your screen's glow. The dark web isn't just drugs or stolen data-it's a slaughterhouse where humans are meat, where screams are currency, where Bitcoin buys blood. People are hacked apart live, children torn to pieces for Monero tips, infants broken while faceless crowds type "more." This is the truth humming in your router, the shadow in every click. You'll meet the hosts-monsters wearing human faces, their minds lit by sadism, carving souls for a digital mob. You'll feel the victims' terror, their bodies and minds shredded, their last hopes drowned in blood. You'll read the chats, a sewer of demands-"burn her face," "eat the heart"-typed by shadows who could be anyone, their wallets fat with crypto, their hands clean but their hearts black. This isn't fiction. It's what happens when anonymity unleashes the beast inside. If you're here, you're strong-hearted, ready to face the abyss. But this book will claw your mind, leave scars that don't fade. It's not entertainment-it's a warning. The world behind your screen isn't safe. Know it. Fear it. Loathe it.
