Draevnn Motkova
I have been writing stories since a young age — friends call them twisted.
Draevnn Motkova writes gothic, mood-rich fiction and poetry — from cozy small-town suspense to the quiet etiquette of the night.
Enter the Surreal World
Writing at an early age, friends liked my poetry and stories. Yet, accompanying the nice comments came rolling eyes and whispered words that my writing was "too dark," "too strange," or simply too much for polite conversation. I kept writing anyway — the twisted stories found their readers eventually, and the whispers became quieter than the applause.
Lessons From History: Questioning History
Listen now →I started this podcast as a way to revisit history's pivotal moments — the decisions made, the paths chosen, and the quiet turning points that shaped everything after.
Each episode digs into what actually happened and then dares to ask: what if it hadn't? What alternate reality might have unfolded had one choice gone differently, one voice been heard, one moment played out another way? It's history examined not just for what it was, but for everything it could have been.

Cozy gothic suspense
Draevnn Motkova writes in the shadowed space between comfort and unease — where small towns keep their rituals like old promises, and the ordinary hides a second, stranger heartbeat. Each story unfolds slowly, gothic in its bones but intimate in its telling, as if the reader has been let into a room they weren't quite invited to.
Objects remember. Lessons arrive uninvited, often carved from pain the author has lived rather than imagined. The result is fiction and poetry that lingers — not through spectacle, but through atmosphere: candlelight suspense, quiet dread, and the sense that every page is a place you've actually stood in, long after you've closed the book.
