About Unwell

Two women. One asylum. Deadly secrets. When nineteen-year-old Ginny’s mother abandons her at Wellard Asylum, she isn’t sick. She’s pregnant. Behind the iron gates patients cower, the rules are broken, and the basement hides evils that would make monsters squirm. Ginny only has one goal: keep her baby safe, no matter what. Nurse Nancy once believed hospitals were for healing the vulnerable. At Wellard, she’s learned to keep her head down while the powerful play god. That is, until Ginny shows up. Young, scared, and pretty, Ginny gets under Nancy’s skin fast. Protecting a patient means stepping out of orchestrated lines, and Nancy will be forced to choose where her loyalty lies. As storms gather, Ginny and Nancy are pulled into a tightening spiral of control, lust, and institutional cruelty. And sometimes, the only way out is to become the worst thing you can imagine. Dark, visceral and relentless, UNWELL is a psychological horror novel exploring the descent into the places we lock people, and the stories we tell ourselves to justify holding the key. Open the gates to Wellard, but be careful, few ever escape.
