Summary/Abstract: Analysing gothic motifs in Joanna Bator’s novel, the author finds uncanny objects like a key or a knife. However, the most terrifying motif connected with the “dismemberment” of the body of the Wałbrzych prophet is deprived of the uncanny because of its satirical approach. However, it can be found in motifs related to motherhood.
