The self-produced album was created as a tribute to her father, and counterpart to her brother Mark Z. Danielewski's novel House of Leaves.
Haunted found Poe combining traditional pop music notions with electronic, Dance and hard rock music. A critical success and largely adored by her existing fanbase, it nonetheless flopped commercially, largely due to the manner in which it was marketed. The song "Hey Pretty" was released as a promo single, but Poe's vocals had been replaced with a chapter reading from her brother, so it only served to promote his novel instead. The music video for the song was deemed too racy for MTV (it showed Poe writhing around in mud in nothing but a bra.) A follow up promo single, "Walk the Walk," was released because it had been chosen as the theme song to a new TV drama called Girls Club. However, the show was canceled after two episodes. Finally, the title track was used as the theme song to the film "Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2," a box-office failure. The commercial failure of Poe's second album contributed to the loss of her distribution contract with Atlantic Records.
The album also featured samples of audio recordings made by Poe's late father, film director Tad Danielewski. The cassettes were found by Poe and Mark after their father had died and were literally audio-letters to the two of them that spanned back as far as their birth. Thus, the album is usually interpreted as a real woman (Poe) singing tributes to her deceased father (who sings back) even while telling the story of a group of fictional characters (from House of Leaves).
In 2010, the song "Haunted" was featured on the Xbox 360 videogame Alan Wake. According to the developers, songs by Goldfrapp, Jeff Buckley, and PJ Harvey were considered before they settled on Poe.

I wish that I could fly
Into the sky so very high
Just like a dragonfly
I'd fly above the trees
Over the seas in all degrees
To anywhere I please
I want to get away i want to fly away
Yeah yeah yeah i want to get away
I want to fly away yeah yeah yeah
Let's go and see the stars
The milky way or even mars
Where it could all be ours
Let's fade into the sun let your spirit fly
We could be as one
Just for a little fun, yeah
I want to get away i want to fly away
Yeah yeah yeah i want to get away
I want to fly away yeah yeah yeah
I want to get away i want to fly away
Yeah yeah yeah i want to get away
I want to fly away yeah yeah yeah
I want to get away i want to fly away
Yeah yeah yeah
