Owen Egerton in Philadelphia City Paper
July 18, 2007 On the DL, Owen Egerton: Sometimes it’s OK to laugh when people die — in fiction, anyway. Imagine a spelling bee where wild pigs devour the contestants when they miss a word, or a church camp where every other week a counselor dies in a freak accident meant to emotionally manipulate the campers into accepting Christ. Owen Egerton created these and many more twisted scenarios in his short story collection, How Best to Avoid Dying, and he hopes that when he reads them to you, you will snicker.
