Choking Back the Devil by Donna Lynch is an invocation, an ancient invitation that summons the darkness within and channels those lonely spirits looking for a host. It’s a collection that lives in the realm of ghosts and family curses, witchcraft and urban legends, and if you’re brave enough to peek behind the veil, the hauntings that permeate these pages will break seals and open doorways, cut throats and shatter mirrors.

From Donna: “With Choking Back the Devil you may notice there are just as many faceless horrors as monsters. I think it’s important to spotlight them because giving your fears a face—especially that of something you know you’ll probably never encounter—removes you a step or two from that fear, to safety, where it can’t really touch you. But strip off that mask, and you’ll see it’s you. You’ll see it’s every mystery. Every unanswerable question. You’ll see it’s the entire universe, and you will be helpless.”
