At Syfy Wire, Sara Century chooses her own demise in a variety of choose-your-own adventure books!

“There was an awful lot of not entirely age-appropriate stuff in those books — for instance, the copious number of violent deaths. From being rocketed down a chute into a crocodile’s mouth to suddenly being ripped right off a boat and devoured alive by a giant squid, you were allowed to choose an adventure, but that adventure was usually just a graphic, violent demise.

So in that spirit, we present Choose Your Own Demise, a commemoration of the many deaths we discovered while seeking adventure via the magic of reading. First up: the 1983 classic, Prisoner of the Ant People!”
