St. Louis in Watercolor is a compilation of information about borrowed ideas and famous firsts in St. Louis architecture. St. Louis, the first major metropolitan city west of the Mississippi, is unique in its architectural heritage. The architectural history of many of the buildings are re-creations or interpretations borrowed from other well-known structures around the world. Many of the ideas for new structures are the first of their kind. Artist and historian Marilynne Bradley's love for St. Louis architecture is reflected in her watercolors as a way of preserving these former and present historic scenes in St. Louis that may not last forever. Each of her watercolors explores the subject from a different viewpoint, allowing a personal statement for each work of art.

“St. Louis gets a turn to show its dark side . . . [A] spirited, black-hearted collection” including a story from New York Times–bestselling author John Lutz (Kirkus Reviews). A vibrant Midwest metropolis, St. Louis has a rich, multicultural history of art and literature—both high and low. That duality is embraced here in an anthology that spans the reaches of noir, from violent criminality to bad luck and bad attitudes. St. Louis Noir includes stories by bestselling authors John Lutz and Scott Phillips, a poetic interlude featuring Poet Laureate Michael Castro, and more tales from Calvin Wilson, LaVelle Wilkins-Chinn, Paul D. Marks, Colleen J. McElroy, Jason Makansi, S.L. Coney, Laura Benedict, Jedidiah Ayres, Umar Lee, Chris Barsanti, and L.J. Smith. “The stories here are uniformly strong. Regular readers of the Noir series know what to expect: tightly written, tightly plotted, mostly character-driven stories of murder and mayhem, death and despair, shadow and shock.” —Booklist “Thirteen tales of grim homicidal happenings (plus one poetic interlude) set in the streets of the St. Louis area.” —St. Louis Post-Dispatch
