Hello! I’m Razvan, a 39-year-old writer enthralled by dark tales, investigative journalism, and the art of crafting stories that weave horror, sci-fi, paranormal, and supernatural elements.
So, what about me? Well, my passion for everything strange and creepy has guided my creative path since childhood, immersing me in worlds of suspense, the eerie, and the otherworldly. Literary giants like Stephen King, Shirley Jackson, Clive Barker, H.P. Lovecraft, Ray Bradbury, and Neil Gaiman have shaped my storytelling, their works inspiring me to create fiction that grips and lingers.
Some of my favorite reads include The Shining by King, The Haunting of Hill House by Jackson, Books of Blood by Barker, The Call of Cthulhu by Lovecraft, Fahrenheit 451 by Bradbury, and American Gods by Gaiman—each a masterclass in evoking awe and unease.
I have a Bachelor’s degree in Animal Sciences from Wageningen University and Research Centre in the Netherlands. I also completed a year-long online course in Mythology and Folklore from University College Cork. This experience was eye-opening in how ancient myths, shadowy legends, and cultural lore fuel the haunting, intricate stories I love to write, giving me a unique lens to create narratives that resonate long after the final word.
Journalism is another cornerstone of my work. Starting in 2012 at Club Enigma, I worked as a content writer and researcher, publishing over 400 pieces on topics like ghostly encounters, cryptic mysteries, and forensic puzzles. By 2015, I joined Misterio as Senior Content Manager, producing over 300 articles exploring spirituality, UFOs, and ancient myths. From 2017 to 2025, I freelanced for platforms like Ancient Theory, Haunting Realms, Cryptid Library, and SpookySight.
Beyond writing, I’m passionate about beekeeping, a hobby I began in 2021. What started as a small endeavor has grown into managing six thriving beehives.
My dog, Rex, is my loyal companion, joining me on outdoor camping adventures where I find inspiration in the quiet of the wilderness, under starlit skies, or by a crackling campfire.
What am I working on right now? Two amazing projects: The Horror Collection and HellsLore. Far from mere blogs, they’re my creative havens, designed to deliver gripping, grounded, well-researched articles that cut through the clutter of sensationalized scares.
