Life under the “protection” of The Machine may not be all it is touted to be. Gritty, tension-filled, and you just KNOW there is a dark secret being kept by The Machine and those in power. When a cheating wife finally, although accidentally gets killed by her husband, his race for freedom takes him beyond the barriers of The Machine. Will he find the horrors that he has been taught to believe in, or is there more?Marrow’s Pit by Keith Deininger is a trip through the scrambled maze that is life in a controlled environment when people let fear of the unknown rule them. The main character is not a strong hero who dares to defy the rules, he is weak, frightened but finally determined to survive, to escape the lies he has been told his entire life. Survival at its nerve-wracking best with a frantic pace, and gruesome scenes, this quick read has a touch of horror, love and hate, all twisted up in a few pages.I received an ARC edition of this novella from DarkFuse in exchange for my honest review.
