Girls from the County


Dark, unyielding, and horror filled; this poetry collection by dark fiction author, Donna Lynch is unsettling and impossible to stop listening to. Rather than write about city girls and country girls, Lynch focuses on the county girls – the girls from in-between places, with dark back stories, and horrors abound in their back yards. Folk horror and free flowing poetry mix together to tells stories of predators, murderers, bodies in freezers, witches, grief, rage, and empty old houses. Short and lyrical, this poetry collection reads like a confessional or a diary. Narrated by the author with an eerily calm demeanor and overlayed with ominous and dark music; this audiobook may be short but is seriously spooky. Verdict – this audiobook will be not everyone’s cup of tea, BUT is perfect for those who love dark gothic poetry, true crime, or those who want to get in the Halloween spirit. – Erin Cataldi, Franklin, IN
