The December reading will be the last of the group readings, so it will be your last chance to get multiple authors to sign.

HAPPY HOUR BOOK CLUB
RAKING THROUGH BOOKS—Resort to Murder
Resort to Murder continues in the same tradition as Nodin Press’ Silence of the Loons, with some of the state's best writers delivering creepy, spine-tingling tales all of which are set at Minnesota vacation resorts, stories far more haunting than the cry of a loon and crimes more lethal than a lump of lutefisk. Featuring Carl Brookins, Pat Dennis, Michael Allan Mallory, David Housewright, Judith Yates Borger, Scott Pearson, and Joel Arnold. This event offers readers the chance to discuss literature with writers and each other in a super-casual setting. Free appetizers.
Cosponsored by the Loft, the Rake magazine, Kieran’s Irish Pub, University of MN Book Store, Peace Coffee, and KFAI Radio.
Kieran’s Irish Pub, 330 2nd Avenue South, Minneapolis. Free.
