“The Room in the Tower” is the most famous of Benson’s ghost stories. It describes a horrific recurrent dream of nameless dread, occurring over a period of fifteen years, in which the dreamer arrives at a peculiar house inhabited by a sinister silent family, where he takes tea on the lawn and is then shown to the room in the tower where something dreadful, malicious, and evil lurks … though he does not know what. Until one day, he finds himself at the house of his dream, just as tea is being served on the lawn.
