The article tackles the problem of fictional (constructed) literature termed by Paweł Dunin-Wąsowicz ‘spectral’. Reading through Arturo Pérez-Reverte’s The Club Dumas, Susanna Clarke’s Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norell, and J.K. Rowling’s three works alluding to the Harry Potter cycle, the author proceeds with describing a tendency observed in postmodern fiction, namely, (1) creating fictional artefacts transgressing the borders of fictional world, and (2) constructing libraries within this very world which collect fictional texts imitating the factual ones.
