Santiago Caruso

The artwork in Mariana’s episode was created by Argentinian artist Santiago Caruso. Santiago is a world-renowned artist of horror and the macabre. His work has graced the covers of horror novels, heavy metal albums and more.

It was always the intention to have Mariana’s story illustrated to create a kind of Reading Rainbow-like interpretation of it. When this was mentioned to Mariana, she immediately suggested that Santiago be the artist to create the work. They are friends and have collaborated on various projects in the past.

Working with Caruso on the artwork for this episode was, truly, a dream. His interpretations of the story help ground it in a place and time, and they add further shades to Adela, the narrator, and their journey into an inescapable darkness.
