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.

Just… Wow

Reader beware, this is not a book. It’s certainly not an audiobook. It’s a full-blown work of art. It’s a haunting story so beautifully told that I’m grateful to be reminded it’s a work of fiction. It lures you in with the unique storytelling, releases you just long enough to breathe, and then begins again. Truly mesmerizing and worth every moment spent. I have zero regrets that I neglected my house cleaning to trance out to this for several hours.

Brilliant In Every Way

Anyone who gives this production a low rating simply does not get it. Everything about this was masterful. The casting, the music, performance, and of course the story. So glad I stumbled upon it.

The best kind of ghost story.

Subtle, creeping, yet surprising. Very good voice acting as well, feels like this actually happened.

Intriguing plot and great narration

For such a short tale, it covered many decades. Kept my attention throughout. Novel ending. Absolutely loved the narrators' voices, especially the older woman at the end.

Sooooo good

I love stories that I don’t see coming. I had no idea where it was going and that was pleasantly refreshing. Engaging writing. Very well acted and well produced.

Not for me

Anticlimactic and rather dull for my liking. The performances, I must say, are very good.
