Body Horror Dictioniary - Biopunk Part 3 - Science Fiction

The Body Horror Dictionary is a chilling compendium of terms from the darkest corner of Biopunk. It captures the language of twisted flesh, corrupted DNA, and transformations that defy nature. Every entry explores the unsettling science and visceral imagery behind a subgenre where biotechnology mutates into nightmare, where the human body becomes the site of both creation and catastrophe. Inside, you'll find the clinical vocabulary of genetic experiments gone wrong, the street slang of survivors and black-market modders, and the symbolic language of horror rooted in biology. From grotesque mutations to parasitic symbiosis, each definition reveals the unsettling intersection between science and the human form. Perfect for writers, filmmakers, and genre fans, this is both a reference and a descent into the unnerving lexicon of Body Horror, a world where flesh is mutable, identity is fragile, and the most terrifying monsters are made from us. Body Horror - A subgenre of horror and science fiction focusing on the grotesque or unnatural transformation of the human body. In biopunk, body horror often reflects the consequences of biotechnology gone wrong—whether through excessive cybernetic modifications, mutations caused by genetic tampering, or horrific biological experiments. These transformations challenge the limits of human identity and raise ethical questions about the relationship between body and self.
