The Haunted Woman
''The Haunted Woman'' is a dark, metaphysical fantasy novel by British writer David Lindsay. It was first published, somewhat cut, as a serial in '' The Daily News'' in 1921. It was first published in book form by Methuen & Co. Ltd., London, in 1922. The work supposedly marked Lindsay's attempt to write a more "commercial" novel after the initial failure of his first work, '' A Voyage to Arcturus'' (1920), though he began it before that work was published. It was reissued by Gollancz in 1947. It was republished by the Newcastle Publishing Company as the fourth volume of the Newcastle Forgotten Fantasy Library in March, 1975; the Newcastle edition was the first American edition.

Newcastle Forgotten Fantasy Library
The Newcastle Forgotten Fantasy Library was a series of trade paperback books published in the United States by the Newcastle Publishing Company between 1973 and 1980. Presumably under the inspiration of the earlier example set by the Ballantine Adult Fantasy series, the series reissued a number of works of fantasy literature that had largely been forgotten, being out of print or otherwise not easily available in the United States, in durable, illustrated trade paperback form with new introductions. For a number of works the Library’s editions constituted the first U.S. or first paperback edition. Together with the earlier series from Ballantine Books, it contributed to the renaissance of interest in the fantasy genre of the 1970s. The Library was produced under the editorship of Robert Reginald and Douglas Menville, editors of '' Forgotten Fantasy'' magazine, who were also responsible for several other similar series from other publishers. It included works by authors such as ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

It also published self-help books. In fiction Newcastle is best remembered for its ''Newcastle Forgotten Fantasy Library'', which reissued two dozen neglected classics of fantasy literature between 1973 and 1980, including works by William M ...
