Description:

The Room in the Tower is a chilling tale of recurring nightmares, mounting dread, and vampiric horror from E. F. Benson.

For years, a man is haunted by the same disturbing dream: a decaying house, a looming tower, and a terrible room waiting for him night after night. But when fate leads him to a country estate that mirrors the nightmare exactly, he realizes the dream may have been a warning — and that something ancient and hungry is waiting within the house.

With its dreamlike atmosphere, slow-building tension, and unforgettable sense of supernatural terror, The Room in the Tower remains one of Benson’s most eerie and celebrated ghost stories.
