Vathek is a Gothic novel written by William Thomas Beckford chronicles the fall from power of the Caliph Vathek who renounces Islam and engages with his mother, Carathis, in a series of licentious and deplorable activities designed to gain him supernatural powers. At the end of the novel, instead of attaining these powers, Vathek descends into a hell ruled by the demon Eblis where he is doomed to wander endlessly and speechlessly. | The History of Caliph Vathek by William Beckford, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
