About this listen

In a quiet valley lies a guesthouse without sharp edges or straight lines. Its walls curve, its halls murmur, and its rooms seem to remember something you have forgotten. The Room Without Corners is an atmospheric literary short story set in a mysterious inn where guests arrive without knowing why and leave lighter than when they came.

A traveller steps inside, drawn by the warm glow of candlelight. The curved spaces lead them through moments of memory, comfort, and rediscovery. This is psychological fiction about memory loss and rediscovery, written in a soothing, lyrical style. Perfect as relaxing literary fiction for peaceful listening before sleep, it invites you into a dreamlike world where time feels fluid and safe.

If you enjoy a bedtime short story for adults to listen and relax, this tale offers a gentle escape. Blending poetic prose with calming imagery, it is a mysterious guesthouse story with warm and calming moments, each word exploring forgotten memories and places. At its heart, it is emotional literary fiction about finding what was once lost.

The Room Without Corners is designed for quiet evenings, restful nights, and anyone seeking a short, calming escape. Let the curved walls hold you, let the candlelight guide you, and when you leave, you may carry something you didn’t know you had been missing—until now.

This story felt like what it is, a mediocre, AI-generated piece that never truly captured my interest. I found myself drifting off several times while listening—not because of immersion, but out of boredom. In that sense, I suppose it served its purpose as a sleep aid. The saving grace of this audiobook is Peter McGiffen’s narration, which was impeccable as always. His delivery was professional and engaging, even when the story was not.
I do have a third book to listen to, the one I fancied so hopefully...
I was kindly given a copy of this book and leave this honest review.

Well, what can I say?

The Room without Corners is another of Fedor Alphenaar's relaxing, peaceful audiobooks before bedtime, a great way to unwind after a long day.
The narrative, about exploring a curiously rounded inn, which exudes comfort and warmth, isn't complex, but simple and charming. These books are soothing and calming, a welcome end to the day.

Narrator Peter McGiffen brings warmth and a soothing tone to the books. 5☆
