Vathek: An Arabian Tale (The Argot Early Gothic Collection)

Literature & Fiction

BECKFORD, WILLIAM

Genre Fiction

Argot Press

Sex, sorcery, and Satanism: The Monk is a tale of the temptations of the holiest man in Madrid. Utterly unlike anything England had seen before its publication in 1796, The Monk is a lurid, suspenseful, and occasionally hilarious novel that radically transformed gothic literature with its much darker tone and open embrace of witchcraft and the occult. 
The Monk is the third book in the Argot Early Gothic Collection. From the gloomy castles and maniacal villain of The Castle of Otranto; the sex, witchcraft, and demons of The Monk; to Vathek’s dreamlike and surreal vision of gothic literature’s potential, the Argot Early Gothic Collection showcases three of the most influential works that helped shape English gothic literature and the broader romantic movement of the late 18th century.

The Monk: A Romance (The Argot Early Gothic Collection)

LEWIS, MATTHEW

The world has slowly gone mad following the publication of The King in Yellow, a play so perfect in capturing the essence of what it means to be human that those who read it can no longer tell where the play ends and the real world begins. First published in 1895, Argot Press is proud to offer the only complete collection of Chambers's short story masterpiece, now carefully reedited and illustrated.
