Literary world of a leading representative of Polish horror fiction Stefan Grabiński is filled with mystery, suspense, the dynamics of movement, and passion for technologies. In her study of the writer’s legacy, Joanna Majewska was one of the first to suggest taking a look on Grabiński’s world through the lens of space, particularly, through the space of the early 20th century Lviv. According to the researcher, the space and spirit of the times had an impact on the mystic nature of his works.
