The Haunted Woman

The Haunted Woman is a dark, metaphysical fantasy novel by British writer David Lindsay.

[3] Isabel Loment, engaged to the ordinary and unexceptional Marshall Stokes, leads a peripatetic existence as the ward of her aunt, Ann Moor.

Their travels take them to the downlands of Sussex, to Runhill Court, an ancient home owned by Henry Judge.

She chooses one, which opens onto a room that appears to exist only part of the time; what might lie behind the other doors remains a mystery.

They develop a disturbing parallel relationship in the mysterious room, which ultimately culminates in the death of Judge and the rupture of Isabel from Marshall.
