Lkh annoys me with her setting everything in St. Louis. Because dammit, I heart Illinois and I could see all these supernatural whats-its hanging around a couple hours south because Southern Illinoi and Southern Missouri (especially south MO) are kind of excuciatingly rural in areas. Oh, and all the tunnels under St Louis? She never uses that really. And the folk tales of southern IL are freaking AWESOME. But now she took that setting and has killed it dead and no one will ever be able to fix it. /sulk

Vampires an were-animals in ST Louis itself though- no, not much sense made there.
