Last week, we met Dr. Ox, who graciously offered to light the town of Quiquendone at his own expense, pumping in a unique gas of his own invention. It’s time to turn it on.

Ep. 1019, The Room in the Tower, by E.F. Benson
Have you ever dreamed something, and then it happened in reality? E.F. Benson, today on The Classic Tales Podcast.

Edward Frederic Benson is often mentioned in the same breath as M.R. James and William Hope Hodgson, and holds a distinct place as one of the great writers of supernatural fiction in the Edwardian period. Today’s story is one of his finest.
Benson plays with the connection between dreams and reality, and builds the tension through the device of a recurring dream, with a progression of time that mirrors reality.
As with last week’s story, I was getting vibes from the original Twilight Zone when I read this one. I hope you like it.

We kind of have a feeling when we think about Jules Verne. Around the World in 80 Days, 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, A Journey to the Centre of the Earth. Lots of fun, sometimes predictive adventure fiction that leaves us feeling good, and a little bit smarter. Today’s story is in this vein. I hope you like it.

While many have heard of E.F. Benson, the early 20th century writer of weird fiction, many readers may not know that he was one of three brothers – all of whom wrote some stellar supernatural stories around the Edwardian period. Edward Frederic (E.F.), Robert Hugh (R.H.), and Arthur Christopher (A.C.) wrote over 150 books between them. Many of them stellar stories of suspense in their own right.
When I discovered today’s story, I felt like I was reading an episode of the original Twilight Zone. I hope you like it.
