The Dark Domain by Stefan Grabiński
After his father's death, the family moved to Lviv. He often read while lying in bed, which made him slightly reclusive and nurtured his bias in favor of dark fantasy and mysticism. His family was well off as his father, Dionizos, was a local judge, but Stefan's childhood was marred because of his proneness to various illnesses. Grabiński was born in Kamionka Strumiłowa, then part of Poland (present-day Kamianka-Buzka, Ukraine), situated by the Bug River.
THE DARK DOMAIN BY STEFAN GRABIŃSKI MOVIE
His story "Szamota's Mistress" was adapted to film as part of a B Movie trilogy called Evil Streets. He was an expert in parapsychology, magic and demonology and had an interest in the works of the German Expressionist filmmakers.Ī number of his stories have been translated into English by Miroslaw Lipinski and published as The Dark Domain.
He is sometimes referred to as the "Polish Poe" or "Polish Lovecraft", although his works are often surrealistic or explicitly erotic in a way that sets him apart from both.
Stefan Grabiński (26 February 1887 – 12 November 1936) was a Polish writer of fantastic literature and horror stories.
