This article addresses the analysis of the appearance and the particular treatment of several aspects of the gothic novel that Ernesto Sábato (1911-2011) carried out in his novels On Heroes and Tombs (1961) and The Angel of Darkness (1974). The author used the figures and motives of this literary current to support a theme that was fundamental throughout his career and through which he developed his novelistic work: the irruption of the irrational in the fictional plane.
