Descent Into Hell
Descent Into Hell is a novel written by Charles Williams, first published in 1937.
Williams wrote a series of novels which combine elements of fantasy fiction and Christian symbolism. Forgoing the detective fiction style of most of his earlier supernatural novels, most of the story's action is spiritual or psychological in nature. It fits the "theological thriller" description sometimes given to his works...

Charles Walter Stansby Williams (20 September 1886 – 15 May 1945) was a British poet, novelist, literary critic, editor, biographer, Anglican Christian, and occultist. He was also a member of the Inklings along with C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien. He is best known for his seven 'metaphysical thrillers', among which are *War in Heaven* (1930), *The Place of the Lion* (1931) and *All Hallows Eve* (1937). He also wrote history, literary criticism and theology, which included *The Descent of the Dove* (1929) and *Outlines of Romantic Theology* (1990). However, Williams regarded his Arthurian poetry as his finest achievement. Esoteric and dense, they include *Taliessen Through Logres* (1938), *The Region of the Summer Stars* (1944) and *The Silver Stair* (1912). Williams' literary style is notable, being labyrinthine and full of obscure allusions. He was influenced by a variety of sources, including the Bible, Arthurian legend and the occult.
