Răzvan is a volcanologist, traveling quite a lot to study active volcanoes around the globe. A lover of horror and fantasy fiction, he enjoys both stories and films, and has great fun writing darker pieces. His work touches on the supernatural, drawing inspiration from Eastern European beliefs on undead and spirits, which he sources from ethnographic texts and original references dating back to the 17th century. He does come from the land of Dracula, after all…

He is also a photographer, and you can find him on Instagram where he adds frequent updates (razvangabriel.popa).
