I am always for the
look-out for new thrills, especially when it comes to cultural ones. Today I
will present you a young Romanian writer with a most thrilling style. Her name is Ioana Dorojan and her
writing is uniquely elegant, refined and dark. Exactly what is needed to write
gothic stories and hopefully, pretty soon a novel, too.
Here is where you can
read for yourselves her published writing:
Luna Sângerie
Îmbrățișări din adânc Which was republished by her highschool teacher on her blog.
Vine întunericul This story made me both proud and envious! The beautiful athmosphre is exactly the kind of athmosphere I love in a gothic novel/ story.
She does write in Romanian, however google translate might help you with the translations.
Besides writing, she also is a huge music fan (Diary of Dreams, Diorama, Tarja Turunen, and many more) and takes amazing photos. She owns a blog, Doubt Truth to Be a Liar where you can find out more about her and read some of her writings, also in English. She also had a writing collaboration with the Romanian band Magica on their latest album "Dark Diary", more about that can be found here.
Read and listen to music, it keeps your soul young!
Alex.
