This work proposes a comparative reading of Toni Morrison s Beloved, Cornélio Penna s A menina morta, and Arnaldo Santo s A casa velha das margens, vis-a-vis the presentification of traumatic memory in the haunted houses represented in the these works. Through a reading of Kafka s short story The Burrow , we have sought to study space as both motivation and strategem for rescuing traumatic memory in the three novels under study. In this sense, the presence of the ghost is perceived not only as a structural element in the narratives being investigated, but as a character representing subalternity. The silence which pervades these fictional works has also been analysed both as a representation of the (im)possibility of speaking and as a form of representing the subaltern within the haunted houses from the perspective of the different ways in which, in its randomness, it deconstructs space, constructing, through language, Beloved, A menina morta and A casa velha das margens as representations of precarious and problematic identities
