Of course horror is not that simple, and was never reducible to those knick-knacks, but their tenacity has been enough for scholars to build theories of horror as irreducibly nostalgic, and for some of the most open-minded readers to see the genre as hidebound.
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 those we expect, but they are principles - rules - and it is in their exploration that the mystery lies.
Grabinski has several stylistic tics, and the only one that sometimes grates is his prediliction for ending paragraphs with ellipses...

 Stefan Grabinski Introduction (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab1.isi.jhu.edu)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Grabinski used his theory of durational time to splendid effect in "Saturnin Sektor." But it was Bergson's concept of elan vital--that spiritual force, or energy, that underlies reality and influences matter--which struck the deepest cord in Grabinski.
All of Grabinski's innovative tales were examples of a particular type of fantasy, which he proposed calling "psychofantasy" or "metafantasy." As opposed to straightforward, conventional fantasy that displayed the outward and the ornamental, this type of fantasy employed as its basis psychological, philosophical or metaphysical concerns.
When Grabinski began to abandon, for the most part, the short story format around 1922 and turn to novel writing, his self-motivated calling as a serious investigator of the unknown flowered into mysticism, a circumstance that doomed his work in the eyes of the critics.

"Grabinski's commitment to a marriage of the newly announced unconscious with the supernatural gives his extravagances some conviction.

Film adaptations of the work of Polish fantasist Stefan Grabinski, sometimes denigrated as “the Polish Poe,” are as few as they are obscure.
It was initially screened during Grabinski’s lifetime; the author himself may have attended the premier.
Following the four Grabinski films in the “Opowiesci” series (from ’67 through ’85), and a single film, “Nikt Nie Jest Winien” (“No One is at Fault”), another decade passed before a German director, Holger Mandel, took up Grabinski’s work in a serious way.

Poland’s strong Catholic faith engendered in its literature a lively awareness of the Devil and a love of the supernatural and the fantastic.
These stories are explorations of the extreme in human behaviour, where the bizarre chills the spine, and few authors can match Grabinski’s depiction of seething sexual frenzy.
Stefan Grabinski (1887-1936) is considered Poland's greatest writer of fantastic fiction.

Stefan Grabinski is one of the great ones.
These stories are gripping, haunting, and have the power to pull you into Grabinski's warped but somehow universal reality and to keep a part of you there long after you have turned the last page and read the last word.
As with the other great horror story writers, Grabinski's inner demons make a connection with each of his reader's inner demons and create an indelible impression.

 Dark Domain - Stefan Grabinski
Far from just being a "Polish Poe", Grabinski occupies a space of his own somewhere between the European Decadents and more modern weird writers like Kafka and Aickman.
His writing makes a knowing use of horror tropes, and his stories often move through several quick twists in succession, being closer to surrealism or nightmare than traditional horror.
Grabinski is an original, taking an intelligent approach to the psychologically charged weirdness that comes from his own inner dark domain, and showing insight rare in the genre considering the age in which he wrote.

 The Motion Demon - Stefan Grabinski- Gavinicuss Books   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Stefan Grabinski (1887–1936), often referred to as 'The Polish Poe', struggled during his lifetime to gain recognition in his native land.
He was an idealistic loner who strove for an understanding of the hidden forces of both the world and the human mind; and he represented those forces in the most potent framework available to him—his stories of the supernatural.
With this first complete translation of The Motion Demon, Ash-Tree Press begins a comprehensive series of Grabinski volumes that will duplicate the content of the original Polish editions and also assemble short stories which never saw book publication.

Yesterday afternoon I finished “The Dark Domain” which is a collection of short stories written by Stefan Grabinski, translated by Miroslaw Lipinski.
Another intrigue was that of the writers in Polish literature, Grabinski was the one and only writer of this style for a long time (born in 1887 and died in 1936).
I don’t want to keep referring to Poe, being under educated on his work, but Grabinski’s prose is not nearly as poetic.
