Marshall returns from America
The visit to Runhill Court
In the upstairs corridor
The legend of Ulf's Tower
Isbel sees herself
Judge appears on the scene
The dinner-party
The picnic
What happened in the second room
Blanche speaks out
Isbel visits Worthing
Mrs. Richborough's errand
The lunch at the Metropole
In the second chamber again
The music of spring
The musician departs
In the twilight
A catastrophe
The flash of day
Marshall's journey

Isabel Loment is engaged to the affectionate, but unemotional, Marshall Stokes. House-hunting for her aunt, she comes to Runhill Court, an ancient home with a mysterious staircase that is only visible to those with eyes to see it. Ascending the staircase, she meets Henry Judge, the owner of Runhill Court, and a passionate relationship develops, which neither can recall once they have descended the staircase and returned to the everyday world. The Haunted Woman was Lindsay's attempt to write a more commercial novel than its fantasy predecessor, A Voyage to Arcturus. Though neither book was successful in its day, both became cult classics. The Haunted Woman was reprinted as the fourth volume of the celebrated Newcastle Forgotten Fantasy Library. (Phil Benson)
