The article is a comparative analysis of Guy de Maupassant's novella «Le Horla» and A.P. Chekov's long short story «Chyorny Monakh» («The Black Monk») which aims at revealing transformed invariant structures of the Gothic novel in these two texts. The work is based on the hypothesis for the first time introduced in literary theory that the compared texts are not only connected with the tradition of the Gothic novel and include its invariant although transformed features, but are both based on the same intermediary text through which both Maupassant and Chekhov assimilated the Gothic tradition.
