Down in the southwest corner of Nevermore County is a mountain the early European settlers called Mist Tree Mountain because of the huge mist-shrouded tree that grew at the very top. In time, it became known to their descendants as Mystery Mountain, and it is in the small backwoods towns and villages around the mountain that these stories take place. Fairly isolated, nestled in the foothills near the No Name River, with only two narrow country bridges connecting them to the rest of the county, these small locales frequently developed odd customs and behaviors. While outsiders might find them exceedingly strange, they are, in one way or another, accepted by the people living there...even when the outcome is fatal.

September 16, 2006: The Legends of Nevermore County is a collection of fantastic and wonderful stories that are just real enough to make us wonder. Could there be a forgotten corner of some remote County in America where cows are a little bit smarter and there is a touch of the supernatural, just enough to make life better. The Europeans have written of fairies and dragons for centuries, could settlers to America have found the same ?otherworldly? entities here? Ms Bradford makes Nevermore County just that believable, or is real?
