Caridad Cole is a speculative writer and filmmaker whose work often dances with magical realism and ruralism, lookalikes and lonely girls, and gothicism and the grave.
Her writing has appeared in BarBar, The Taborian, Vocivia Magazine, Coffin Bell, The Worlds Within, The Garden-Variety Grimoire Anthology (The Word’s Faire Press), and The EastOver Anthology of Rural Stories, Volume II: Writers of Color (EastOver Press), among others. She is a 2025 Pushcart Prize nominee and was the 2018 winner of three awards by Words for Charity.
In 2023, she founded the speculative literary and art magazine, Moonday Mag.
Under her own banner, pico bonito, she creates fringe short films and animations, including the official music video for Lowell's "Bloodthirsty".
Her mind is in the treetops, her body is in Los Angeles, and her soul is at the bottom of the sea. Pin her down at caridadishere@gmail.com or follow on Instagram, Letterboxd, and Goodreads.
