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).

Razvan-Gabriel Popa liked Suse Wilcox's review of The Black Dust Rises (Tales from the Storm of the Fallen): ""The Black Dust Rises" is a unique dark fantasy. The author has created a setting based on the Icelandic highlands and volcanic ash embedded in the wind in that region. In the story, the ash is a being and can destroy anyone in its path.

Razvan-Gabriel Popa liked Sarah Burchett-Cook's review of The Black Dust Rises (Tales from the Storm of the Fallen): "A dark fantasy with a difference, inspired by the volcanic ash of the plains of Iceland.

I like the core idea of this story: when it comes to love and feelings, we're hurting ourselves by avoiding the risk of being hurt by someone else. Running away from feelings and commitment becomes, in the end, a sentence to solitude. The message is ...more

Razvan-Gabriel Popa answered Zeon Vale's question: Te salut! Mă bucur să descopăr autori români și pe Goodreads — e mereu o bucurie să vezi condeie din țară care spun povești autentice. Sunt curios, îți place și non ficțiunea sau te atrage mai mult lumea ficțiunii? Salut! Multumesc pentru mesaj! Citesc de toate, insa fictiune in mare parte (pentru relaxare). Explorez si non-fictiunea, atat timp cat naratorul are o voce distincta. Vocea e la fel de importanta in non-fictiune ca si in fictiune, desi unii autori u See Full Answer

So far, my favorite of Scribner's stories. It's as eerie as it gets, and although you feel the foul play, the ending still comes with a twist. Good stuff, which reminds me of cosmic horror, but with a modern flavor. ...more
