Dracfried: Dracula versus Diesel, written in German by worldwide famous expert in car engines Professor Cornel Stan and translated into English by Adriana Crăciun, is a captivating vampire novel, presenting Dracula’s history as well as the history of Dracula’s offsprings, coming all the way down to present-day Transylvania. In the midst of a huge international scandal in the automobile world, triggered by handling pollutant emis­sions, a young and brave hero aspires, from Transylvania, to the stars: Siegfried–laughed at, but also feared, under the nickname of Dracfried. On his way, Dracfried doesn’t ride the broomstick, but a motorcycle with absolutely visionary technique. The hero isn’t a magician, but he pushes his limits to physics’ boundaries, which he uses to create revolutionary propulsion systems. His existence, however, is determined by a form of metaphysics, fascinating and unexplainable, which seems to be related to the legendary Count Dracula of Transylvania. Until one day...

After two dozen specialized books that have been translated into several languages, he published his first novel, Carmakers, which is welcomed by readers.
