Overview
The project is based on an interview in which Mariana Enríquez reflects on horror as a literary genre and its connection to violence that persists over time. From this dialogue, the book explores how certain ideas—such as ghosts, open wounds, and unresolved histories—reappear insistently. The proposal takes shape as an experimental fanzine that breaks away from traditional reading structures and proposes a fragmented narrative, where text and image engage through discomfort.

The Challenge
The main challenge was to translate an oral and intellectual exchange into an editorial experience that goes beyond illustrating the interview’s content. The project needed to avoid passive reading and instead confront the reader, generating tension, disruption, and ambiguity while maintaining conceptual coherence and narrative strength.
The Solution
The solution was to design a horror fanzine in which materiality and graphic resources operate as extensions of the concept. Visual interruptions, transparent layers that evoke ghostly presences, and deceptive images that gradually reveal themselves were incorporated. These strategies aim to betray the reader’s expectations and produce a non-linear reading experience, forcing readers to reconstruct meaning as they move through the piece.
The Result
The result is a book-object that transcends the traditional editorial format and becomes an immersive experience. The project successfully conveys the sharp and unsettling nature of the horror explored by Mariana Enríquez, transforming the interview into a visual device that activates memory, unease, and the reader’s active participation.
