Three Counties Over: Midwestern stories too strange to stay buried

By Toby Mikle

Some stories happen in your town. The better ones happen three counties over. Three Counties Over is a strange Midwestern road book about unsolved houses, forgotten fires, violent weather, river legends, public disasters, civic stunts, and roadside landmarks that refused to stay small. It moves from Villisca and Peshtigo to the Hodag, Balloonfest, House on the Rock, Carhenge, Wall Drug, and the world's largest catsup bottle, following the way facts become rumors and rumors become local memory. This is not a polite history. It is a map of the places people keep pointing toward when they say, 'You ever hear what happened there?'
