The narrative of Vathek uses a third person, omniscient, semi-intrusive narrator. The novel, while it may lend itself to be divided into chapters, is one complete manuscript without pause. Giaur le pide demasiadas cosas a cambio de dejarlo ingresar en el Palacio del Fuego Subterráneo en donde, engañándolo, le promete toda una serie de tesoros, talismanes y poderes. These narratives were, until restored to their intended place in the novel, in the 1971 Ballantine edition, lost until 1909, discovered by Lewis Melville. They were then published in a separate book in 1912.

The novel recounts the temptation and fall of the caliph Vathek, a man with few positive qualities. He has a violent temper and an insatiable desire for both power and pleasure.
