Distressing Deaths in the Land of Literature

Ace Hotel 1022 SW Stark St, Portland

Ah, death. It can be both beautiful and terrible, and death certainly makes us keep turning the page. Join author (and mortician!) Elizabeth Fournier and the many departed characters of fiction as we test our bookish cred in a game of Literary Demise for deathy prizes to (not) die for. Death, be not proud, but always be fictitiously entertaining.
