Haunted Woman

Isabel Loment is engaged to a man who loves her reliably but without warmth, when she stumbles upon Runhill Court, a house that exists slightly outside the ordinary world. There, visible only to those with 'eyes to see,' a mysterious staircase appears. She ascends and meets Henry Judge, the house's owner and a man who remembers her from a life she cannot recall. What unfolds between them is a love so complete that it can only exist in that liminal space above the everyday. But when Isabel descends the staircase, she forgets everything. The passion, the connection, the very truth of what they shared dissolves like morning mist. Yet something in her knows something has been lost, even if she cannot name it. David Lindsay crafted this strange, haunting romance as a more commercial counterpoint to his legendary fantasy A Voyage to Arcturus, but what emerged is equally dreamlike and strange. The Haunted Woman asks what happens when emotional truth transcends rational memory, and whether love that cannot survive in the waking world is any less real. It lingered in obscurity until the Newcastle Forgotten Fantasy Library brought it back for readers who crave romances that feel like half-remembered myths.
