Ray Bradbury wrote "The Witch Door" in 1995. The main characters live in a dilapidated New England farmhouse. They've come to escape from the totalitarian government and collapsing cities.
One night, one night, they hear a hammering on the Witch Door in their house.
The witch door dates back to 1680, when people used it to hide witches from the Salem Witch Trials.
The noises grow louder and a woman bursts out of the tiny room behind the door. The woman dashes out into the night. Set in the future, The Witch Door is that mixes science fiction and dystopian futures with a witch thrown in to make the point.
A female friend of theirs who is on the run from the government arrives and asks them to hide her.
They put her in the room beyond the Witch Door.
