Caridad Cole is a speculative writer and filmmaker whose work often dances with magical realism and ruralism, lookalikes and lonely people, and gothicism and the grave.

Her writing has appeared in Coffin Bell Journal, Vocivia Magazine, An Anthology of Rural Stories by Writers of Color 2024 (EastOver Press), and elsewhere. She is a 2025 Pushcart Prize nominee, 2025 BarBe Awards finalist, and was the 2018 recipient of three creative writing grants from Words for Charity.

In 2023, Cari founded the speculative literary and art magazine, Moonday Mag, for which she serves as both editor-in-chief and art director.

Under her own banner, pico bonito, she creates fringe short films and animations, including the official music video for Lowell's "Bloodthirsty".
