Summary/Abstract: This article introduces David Toop’s work into Polish literary and cultural studies. Even though Toop represents an important point of reference in the field of sound studies, his work remains largely unknown among scholars in Poland. Marak introduces Toop’s work by focussing on his most important books, but she also demonstrates how his ideas and analytical tools can be applied to literary studies, particularly in the context of horror fiction.
