Akashic Books continues its groundbreaking series of original noir anthologies, launched in 2004 with Brooklyn Noir. In the wake of Chicago Noir, Twin Cities Noir and Kansas City Noir comes the latest Midwest installment, St. Louis Noir. Masterfully curated by Scott Phillips, author of The Ice Harvest (adapted to a film starring John Cusack and Billy Bob Thornton), this volume will chill the reader with heartland menace.
Scott Phillips was born in Wichita, Kansas, and lived for many years in Paris, France, and Southern California. In the early 2000s he moved to St. Louis, Missouri. He is the author of seven novels and a collection of short stories, and his novel The Ice Harvest was a New York Times Notable Book and was made into a film starring John Cusack, Billy Bob Thornton, and Connie Nielsen.
