Publisher's summary

Harriet Sansom Harris Hacks, Desperate Housewives and Zehra Fazal How to Get Away with Murder, Lucifer give truly chilling performances in Aditi Brennan Kapil’s haunting Marrow.

Aspiring audio producer Harriet (Fazal) gets the career boost of a lifetime: the chance to interview internationally famous thriller writer Lili Novak, who has agreed to give a masterclass about her creative process. The dream gig takes a dark turn, however, as Lili immediately dives into an eerie recount of her childhood. In stories about the dangerous tenement she grew up in, Lili reveals the friendships she formed and the disturbing experiences they all endured together—some of which still haunt her.

Captivated by the tales and obsessed with the prospect of being the one to tell Lili's story to the rest of the world, Harriet ignores the red flags signaling the novelist may not be in her right mind...or that something even more sinister is happening.

Created by Aditi Brennan Kapil and unfolding over six episodes, Marrow is a harrowing psychological thriller that asks: Is anyone ever really who they say they are? As Lili’s tale unearths winding paths of trauma, lies, and deceit, to a shocking revelation, Harriet’s dream will be completely—and irrevocably—shattered.  

Aditi Brennan Kapil was awarded a commission through the Audible Emerging Playwrights Fund, an initiative dedicated to developing innovative original plays driven by language and voice. As an Audible-commissioned playwright, she received funding and creative support to develop Marrow.

Portions of this audiobook contain mature language. Listener discretion is advised.

I'm glad this was short...and free. Great narration, but just depressingly weird. Alot better stories to waste your time on...

Excellent!

Loved listening to this one. Very well written. I had to rewind once it twice because I listen at work and missed some details. Great casting, too!

took me a minute but worth it

this was harrowing with an open-mouthed plot twist at the end. I really liked the way this story was put together and told.

Hard To Remember That It’s Fiction

The story is told and acted like a documentary and it kept my attention.

Lila is manipulative as she spins her tale for Harriet, who records everything.

There’s a plot twist in the end that I didn’t see coming.

A twisty road that leads to a stunning ending. That narration is so great. I enjoyed it and it’s surprises.

A Gripping Tale with Room for Growth

"Marrow" is undeniably a compelling novel with its suspenseful plot and vividly drawn characters. I found myself hooked from the start, eager to uncover the mysteries surrounding the protagonist. The storytelling is masterful, immersing readers in a world of secrets and intrigue. However, I couldn't help but feel that the ending left a few loose threads. While I appreciate open-ended narratives, I wished for more closure in this case. Nevertheless, the journey through the pages of "Marrow" is an engaging one, and I recommend it to those who enjoy psychological thrillers with a taste for ambiguity. Four stars for this intriguing read. 🌟🌟🌟🌟

Chilling and mysterious

This was an excellent listen. The cast was phenomenal, the story was slow-burning and I did NOT see the ending coming!
