LDM NYC Ep. 6 Finale

Aaron Garretson (Opium) v. Bob Powers (LOST Magazine) in an epic, and overexplained, clash of Recycling Basketball--all part of the lunatic happenings at the Opium6: Go Green! But Save Me First launch party.

“Opium's Literary Death Matches offer the best of San Francisco's vibrant literary scene: on-the-fly creativity, stiff drinks, and healthy sparring between clever, attractive people.”

--Mia Lipman, San Francisco magazine

LDM NYC Ep. 7 Finale

Watch Titlepage.tv’s John Williams outhop Wigleaf’s Debbie Kuan in a grueling tooth-and-nail battle that captured the imagination of a continent. Williams late rally (whilst jumping along in a GLAD ForceFlex trash bag) scored him literary superstar status for the rest of his days.

LDM NYC Ep. 9 Finale

Watch the NYC Ep. 9 finale at the Kitchen, featuring L Magazine's Literary Upstart representative Lincoln Michel versus Guerrilla Lit Reading Series rep Dennis DiClaudio in a three-round duel to the death!

LDM TV (Ep. 10) Finale

Our attempt to turn the Literary Death Match into a television show kicked off at Housing Works Bookstore Cafe (as we captured footage for our sizzle reel). The outcome? A wild finale that pit Muumuu House's Tao Lin vs. Brooklyn Writers Space's Amy Sohn in a money grab for the ages!
