About this listen

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.

I almost gave up on this a few minutes in but I am glad I didn’t. The story went in directions I did not expect. Remember, this is fiction….

Very good!

What a story! Don't scroll past this one. It's haunting, human and sometimes scary. I really believed in the characters, and there are so many surprising elements to this story, I felt it was very original and I literally had to remind myself that this is a work of fiction. I binge listened to this. I was gripped from the start.

This is a work of fiction. It's important you remember that.

I was hooked from the start and binge listened to it until the end. Wonderful writing and perfect performances.
The story is gripping and despite the painful subject matter it is delicately poised on the line between exactly right and too much.
Each character is so well developed that by the end I felt as if I had met them and known them personally.
Haunting is the word I think fits best here.

One of the best Audible productions ever.

To me, this story is a few levels above most of the other productions I listened to on audible. It left a real impact on me, and I feel like I will be listening to it a few times over, in order to savior it.
The story is incredible, both in structure and content. The language is poetic in a true sense. It is not encumbered by pompous words or unnecessarily long sentences. Yet, it paints a world you can easily imagine and feel. The real talent has written it. Not a single sentence is wasted, and the road through mystery is very addicting.
The performance is masterful too. The voices are just perfect for the characters,

A masterpiece

Very interesting, though a quite slowly unfolding story. It kept my interest, partly because of the performances, partly because of the plot. A very slow, yet captivating tale, told well.

Very slow, but good
