The Room With No Name
About
Some rooms don't forget. Some dolls don't stay burned. And some names should never be remembered.
Corinne thought she left the horrors behind when she escaped the burning house. But memory doesn’t die—it braids itself deeper. In her new apartment, she finds a hidden door sealed beneath layers of paint… and behind it, a room that knows her name.
As thread seeps into her teeth and dolls reassemble with the faces of the dead, Corinne uncovers a terrifying truth: she was never meant to survive the legacy—only carry it. Now, the thirteenth braid tightens, and the stitched voices call her home.
The Room With No Name is a haunting gothic horror—a chilling descent into stitched memory, inherited madness, and the blood-bound thread of identity that refuses to break.
Praise for this book
If you’ve ever stared at a wall and thought, “Yeah, that could be hiding a nightmare dimension with questionable interior design choices,” then Stephanie Tyo just wrote you a love letter—stitched in silver thread and maybe human hair.
This second installment in the Vessel Series takes horror’s favorite formula—trauma plus architecture—and cranks it until your scalp tingles. Corinne, our haunted heroine, learns that some rooms don’t just remember your name; they file you under “Pending Possession.” It’s claustrophobic, unsettling, and about as cozy as being wrapped in a blanket… woven from your own memories.
Tyo’s imagery is viciously good—thread pulling from teeth, dolls that blink at the wrong time, family trees embroidered in human hair—and the pacing balances long, dread-soaked breaths with sharp jabs of “oh no, nope, absolutely not.” It’s like Gothic horror got a Bratva tattoo and started whispering secrets at 3:11 a.m.
These books by this author are so fascinating to read. Corinne thought she had escape her family inheritance only to discover the dolls were not done with her yet. This book really creeped me out. The idea that one needed to find a way to stop the forgetting of one’s self. As with the last book, there are clues to follow. Some clues are the right ones and some clues were meant to send Corinne on a wild goose chase. I found myself feeling trapped as I read each page. As I continue to follow this series of books I cannot decide if the dolls are done with Corinne or if they have more in store for her. I do know that I continue to look forward to reading more books by this author.
This is the second book in the Vessel series and it is just as beautiful written. It expands on the first story more while keeping that suspenseful and unsettling atmosphere of the first book. This series is definitely becoming, one of my favorites created by this author, its so wonderfully written and I highly recommend the series.
This is the second in the series and even better than the first. It was a quick read. Leave the lights on.
