Synopsis: This was included as speculative fiction as it's classified as one of E. F. Benson's “Spook” stories. Two sisters living on an isolated farm have nearly identical dreams of a man coming to the door, assaulting the sisters, and killing them. Sure enough, in a raging snowstorm a man, lost in the storm, shows up. The sisters can't turn him away and so let him in. While events then unfold in a way similar to the dreams there's a twist.
