Abstract
The haunted house is a very popular topic in the horror genre that seems inextricably related to the Anglo-Saxon Gothic tradition. However, taking into account the abundant and successful recreations of this type of uncanny space in English cultural products, it is not an unfamiliar subject in our literatures in Spanish either. Indeed, in the last decades, thanks to a considerable group of women writers, it is experiencing a narrative peak that, so far, has not attracted much critical attention. This article aims to analyse precisely this phenomenon considering its general features as an «inverted home architecture», and exploring in depth its literary manifestation through the examination of three representative short stories: «Una noche de invierno es una casa» (2006) by Cecilia Eudave, «Habitante» (2008) by Patricia Esteban Erles, «La casa de Adela» (2016) by Mariana Enriquez.
