There are 19 short stories in “Dark Side of the Loon; Where History Meets Mystery,” an anthology published by Twin Cities Chapter of Sisters in Crime featuring writing by the organization’s members. Their task was to write a story set against an event in Minnesota history. And since this is Minnesota, what could be more appropriate than setting stories during violent weather — wildfires, blizzards, tornadoes. These stories, from three to seven pages long, are surprising, sometimes dark and sometimes funny.

What’s interesting is how seamlessly the writers wove their stories into real-life events. By MARY ANN GROSSMANN | mgrossmann@pioneerpress.com | Pioneer Press
