Demoniczna lokomotywa mija stacje... w oknach wagonów brakuje szyb, a z pustki przedzialów zieje piekielna groza... Wraz z gwizdem rozchodzi sie jek potepionych dusz widmowych pasazerów... Wedrowny demon kolei przetacza sie po chlodnej stali torów, palajac zadza predkosci. Zbliza sie herold smierci...

('...reading The Dark Domain by Stephan Grabinski is such ...)
'...reading The Dark Domain by Stephan Grabinski is such a revelatory experience. Because here is a writer for whom supernatural horror is manifest precisely in modernity - in electricity, fire-stations, trains:the uncanny as the bad conscience of today. Sometimes Grabinski is known as the Polish Poe but this is misleading. Where Poe's horror is agonised, a kind of extended shriek, Grabinski's is cerebral, investigative. His protagonists are tortured and aghast, but not because they suffer at the caprice of Lovecraftian blind idiot gods: Grabinski's universe is strange and its principles are perhaps not what we expect, but they are principles - rules- and it is in their exploration that the mystery lies. This is horror as rigour.' China Mieville in The Guardian

(Macabre trains and maverick railwaymen inhabit the world ...)
Macabre trains and maverick railwaymen inhabit the world of THE MOTION DEMON, a translation of the highly-original short story collection from the pen of Stefan Grabinski, first published in 1919. Sometimes called the “Polish Poe” or the “Polish Lovecraft,” Grabinski is a unique voice in fantastique literature who crafted his own style and addressed themes that no other horror/fantasy writer at the time was exploring. Grabinski’s work was largely ignored in his native country during his life, but in recent times there has been growing international interest in this writer, with notable voices, such as author China Mieville, proclaiming him a master of horror/fantasy. Translator Miroslaw Lipinski introduced the writings of Stefan Grabinski to English-speaking readership, first with translations in the small press, and then with the short story collections THE DARK DOMAIN (1993), THE MOTION DEMON (2005) and ON THE HILL OF ROSES (2012). Of Polish ancestry and British-birth, Lipinski resides in New York. He is currently working on a mammoth volume of Grabinski stories for Centipede Press' "Masters of the Weird Tale" series.

After graduating from the local high school in 1905, he studied Polish Literature and philology at the University of LwóWest
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.
While a student there, he discovered that he had tuberculosis, which was hereditary in his family.
Having been fervently religious since his childhood, this discovery significantly influenced his worldview and approach to writing. After graduating in 1911, he worked as a secondary school teacher in LwóWest
During this time, he also traveled extensively, visiting Austria, Italy and Romania. From 1917 to 1927, he was a teacher in Przemyśl.
His tuberculosis worsened and he was forced to retire.
In 1931, he settled in Brzuchowice where, despite some success as a writer, he increasingly fell into obscurity and died in extreme poverty.
