EVENT: POST LITERARY DEATH MATCH

On Wednesday night Irina Reyn competed for Ballyhoo Stories in Opium Magazine's sixth Literary Death Match. After some technical delays the fight began with Tony O'Neil squaring off against Maureen Tkacik. Tony emerged the winner of the first round. Irina Reyn faced off against Tao Lin. Irina's story of childhood goofiness triumphed. She then defeated Tony in an haiku-off and emerged the victor!! We at Ballyhoo Stories congratulate Irina on her success.
