Gore Poetics by Samir Sirk Morató

Description

A body undone. A love distorted. And horror that pulses beneath the skin.

In Gore Poetics, Samir Sirk Morató unleashes a visceral and transgressive debut collection where intimacy and annihilation blur into something grotesque, beautiful, and impossible to ignore. These stories do not simply unsettle—they linger, seep, and transform, exploring the fragile boundary between desire and destruction.

A fraternity massacre births not only tragedy, but a rewritten history and a survivor obsessed with what remains. Two ancient bog bodies contemplate a love that defies time and decay. A chronically ill house becomes a living force, consuming the tenant who mirrors its own deterioration. And elsewhere, bodies fracture, multiply, and betray themselves in ways both horrifying and strangely intimate.

Morató’s prose is lush, unsettling, and unapologetically embodied—leaning into the wet, the raw, and the uncanny to interrogate identity, queerness, illness, and connection. These are stories where the body is not fixed, where boundaries dissolve, and where transformation is as inevitable as it is terrifying.

Strange, erotic, and deeply atmospheric, Gore Poetics marks the arrival of a bold new voice in contemporary horror—one unafraid to explore the places where beauty and ruin intertwine.
