Summary/Abstract: The work entitled: „W Wałbrzychu straszy. ‘Ciemno, prawie noc’” („Wałbrzych is haunted. ‘Dark, almost Night’”) by Joanna Bator as a Gothic novel is an attempt to face the myth of Gothic. Is it still relevant? And if so, what purpose does it serve? Through the interpretation of the novel, which was awarded in 2013 with the Nike literary prize, I will make an attempt not only to indicate the elements that testify to the “Gothicness” of the narrative, but also to reason about the capacity and significance of this phenomenon in the culture of the 19th century.
