The Art of Darkness has a Spanish-language edition!
I don’t know why this feels like such a big deal. The Art of the Occult has translations in Japanese, German, Korean, Czech, and French, but that all happened without my knowing much about it and with zero fanfare, at least as far as I can tell. But a few weeks ago, I was tagged in this gorgeously eerie reel on Instagram by someone who has a copy of the book, and I was recently interviewed about the book by a journalist in Madrid.

Yaroslav Gerzhedovich. Delightful Details
Yaroslav Gerzhedovich’s creations are somewhat reminiscent of the sileni described in Plato’s Symposium – the Ancient Greek caskets shaped like hirsute creatures brandishing a reed pipe or a flute.
