Descent into Hell is a novel written by Charles Williams, an English author, poet, theologian, and member of the literary group known as the Inklings, which included notable figures like C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien. The novel was first published in 1937 and is considered one of Williams' most significant works. The novel is a unique blend of supernatural fiction, psychological drama, and theological exploration. It explores the idea of a spiritual and metaphysical realm that exists alongside our everyday reality. Charles Walter Stansby Williams (20 September 1886 – 15 May 1945) was a British poet, novelist, playwright, theologian and literary critic. Most of his life was spent in London, where he was born, but in 1939 he moved to Oxford with the university press for which he worked and was buried there following his early death.
