Stefan Grabiński

Who was Stefan Grabiński?

Stefan Grabiński, was a Polish writer of fantastic literature and horror stories. 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. He was an expert in parapsychology, magic and demonology and had an interest in the works of the German Expressionist filmmakers.

A number of his stories have been translated into English by Miroslaw Lipinski and published as The Dark Domain. His story, Szamota's Mistress, was adapted to film as part of a B Movie trilogy called Evil Streets.
