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.

About the Creator - Hemley Boum

About the Creator

Hemley Boum: A novelist, poet, and essayist, Hemley was born in Cameroon where she studied anthropology before taking up the study of international trade in Lille, leaving Douala’s tropical rains for cold northern France. After a first position in Paris, she returned to Cameroon as key account manager of the Cameroonian subsidiary of a French firm. Exploring her own country, the discovery of the agri-food, cotton and forestry industries greatly enriched her vision of Cameroonian society and the international exploitation of local resources. She went on to live in several African countries before settling in Paris and finding the form of writing that suited her. In her novels, Hemley Boum crystalizes urbanity, tradition and history, captured in the daily life of close relationships, giving a thought-provoking insider’s view of an Africa far from clichés.

Great ghost story!!

I found this very hard to get into. I'm used to instant gratification, I guess. But looking at all the reviews that were so positive convinced me to hang in there, and I'm glad I did. The performances were wonderful!! What a fabulous ghost story! A true ghost story!!

Great Story!

The performance and the story were both amazing! I thought it was going to be predictable at the beginning but so far from it. So so good. Highly recommend.

Incredible

I know everyone is raving but my goodness everything from the cast they chose to voice the characters, to the story itself is amazing. I did have a little bit of trouble getting into it but before I knew it I was telling my fiance not to bother me as I was enthralled by the story unraveling before me. 10/10

Amazing & Unexpected

Iam amazed at the totalling unexpected writing and performance in this book.
It started off by drawing me in slowly and ended up dragging me down a rabbit hole that I struggled to climb out of.

I wanted and do want more of this kind of listening adventure
