Beckford´s Vathek - Dallas_Lawson - 06-07-2009
I bought some weeks ago a book with several gothic novels, one of them Vathek by William Thomas Beckford (18th century). Has anyone read it?
Greetings!

I read it just last night and i really loved it!
on my opinion, it seems to be unlike the others Gothic books I've read before. It can described, as an oriental tale(but, that is oriental tale of horror!) with dense atmosphere, arabian night, skeletons, carpets, etc. So, if you like things, like all this, you should adore it!
