Unwell is HartLife NFP’s journey into American Gothic, focusing on the Midwest. It is the combination of Unwell’s production quality and laser-focus on details without forgetting the big picture that makes this one of the best debuts of 2019.Įlena Fernandez Collins, podcast critic and creator of Audio Dramatic The ghosts and dysfunctional family dynamics inside of Fenwood House are echoed in the town of Mount Absalom itself, in its enigmatic conspiracies and intense celery crop worship. Unwell is a triumph of writing and sound design, with spookiness and a creeping sense of dread rooted the detailed design of the haunted house. The newest production of HartLife NFP, creators of the critically-acclaimed fiction podcast Our Fair City, is a Midwestern Gothic horror set in an ancient boarding house in rural Ohio.
