"Demons come in many forms /Some with teeth and some with horns /But none so vicious as the hordes /That came to be when you were born" Choking Back the Devil is horror author and musician Donna Lynch's seventh poetry collection and the follow up to her Bram Stoker nominated collection Witches (2018). This new collection explores the horror of losing control of mind, body, and autonomy through death, hauntings, violation, mental illness, violence, and the demons in our brains that terrorize and tempt us all.
