Horace is a peculiar living at Miss Peregrine’s. His peculiar talent is that he has prophetic nightmares. When Miss Avocet arrives at Miss Peregrine’s, he has one of these nightmares, babbling about an apocalyptic event. Jacob later concludes that Horace’s dream reveals what will happen if the hollowgast and wights carry out their plan to try and become immortal.
