DARIO SPLENDIDO

Every place is a threshold.

Every threshold is alive.
Every living thing is also a message.
Every message is indifferent to being understood.

The Splendido Lab explores strange biological worlds through fiction, cinema, and speculative ecology.

WRITING

The writing wing of The Splendido Lab is where strange biological worlds begin.

This page collects Dario Splendido’s novels, short fiction, ongoing projects, publication updates, and fragments from developing worlds shaped by body horror, transformation, identity, technology, grief, and ecological unease.

These stories explore bodies under pressure, systems that mutate, and characters trying to remain human inside environments designed to change them.

Here you’ll find published novels including This Is Not Your Body and The Point of Infection, short fiction, works in progress, and future releases from The Splendido Lab.

Fiction for broken bodies, living systems, and beautiful things going wrong.
