The Haunted Woman (1922) is a fantasy novel by David Lindsay, written in response to the commercial failure of his earlier work, A Voyage to Arcturus (1920). Lindsay sought to achieve financial stability with a conventional tale of suspense and the occult, hoping to reach a wider audience. Despite his efforts, the novel did not gain widespread popularity. However, it remains a powerful exploration of alternate worlds, the burden of convention, and the nature of human desire.
The protagonist of the story is Isbel Loment, a strong-willed woman who has declined three offers of marriage and has led a rootless lifestyle since the age of sixteen. Now engaged to successful underwriter Marshall Stokes, she finds herself nearing the end of the freedom she has enjoyed. While on vacation at an ancient estate in the hills of Sussex, Isbel discovers a mysterious staircase leading to three identical doors. Choosing one, she is transported to a mirror world, where she encounters her host, Henry Judge.
The novel is beautifully designed, with a captivating cover and professionally typeset manuscript. This edition of The Haunted Woman is a classic of British literature reimagined for modern readers, offering a timeless exploration of the human condition.
