Well, it's not modern, but you might consider The Manuscript Found in Saragossa, written by Jan Potocki in the early part of the 19th century. I can't promise veils and genies, but there are a pair of beautiful Moorish princesses, a Cabbalist, inquisitors, Gypsies, demonic possession, a lot of interlocking and nested narratives, and a good deal of messing with both the protagonist's and the reader's heads.

Yeah it's useful to remember that arabesque was a significant part of a lot of Gothic and Romantic and similar types of fiction.

The great thing about The Saragossa Manuscript is that everybody has a different explanation for everything, it's like Rashomon.
