Working at a dead-end retail job in the middle of nowhere can be hard. The long hours. The helpless customers. The enormous eldritch horror living deep below the building…. As the only full-time employee at the twenty-four hour gas station at the edge of town, Jack has pretty much seen it all. But when he decides to start an online journal documenting the bizarre day-to-day occurrences, he unwittingly attracts the attention of much more than just a few conspiracy theorists. With the body count steadily on the rise and a dark, ancient force infecting the dreams of everyone around him, Jack will do everything in his power to stay out of the way and mind his own business. Besides, he already has his hands full attempting to manage all those mysterious lawn gnomes, the mutant raccoons, and the charming phantom cowboy who lives in the bathroom. Based on the award-winning creepypasta by GasStationJack, Tales from the Gas Station: Volume One is a love letter to the pioneers of classic horror tailored to a generation that grew up in the era of smartphones and WiFi.

Updated: Apr 3, I know I've mentioned this before, but time moves strangely at the gas station. Compounding the confusion, I haven't always been the most ardent supporter of linear storytelling. Some of my tales run concurrently with others. Some, I don't even remember writing This is going to be my best attempt at ordering the tales. But remember, I have an infamously shaky memory and a long history of imagining things. So, don't be surprised if this timeline changes several times as timelines are wont to do around here--you get used to it. Book Link. Events occur during Volume One.

Also excellent was the characterization and revelations about beloved characters. To that I would say As the new owner of the worst business in history, Jack has a lot on his plate. Jack Townsend has brought life into several characters and continues to blend sci-fi, horror, and comedy in a way I've only ever seen done by David Wong before now. Or perhaps we've been witnessing someone else's dream? I can never read Jack's character the same way, which kind of makes me sad but also is so well-executed that I can't complain especially when I know there are so many details in earlier books that will make sense whenever I do a reread of the series. I need MORE! However, Jack's problems extend far past the confines of the gas station this time, as he is forced to confront his own past, particularly the memory of his long-lost beloved girlfriend from beyond the grave. What about Miller? This volume focuses more on Jack and Rosa's adventure, and tying up some loose ends with questions we've all been wondering since Volume 1.

Anyway, I really did enjoy a lot of this book thanks to the writing style and the ever-classic characters we know and love. This series? Julia Cardoso. I'm tempted to say that no plot thread is left dangling but man, there have been so many that I'm not sure how accurate that statement would be. Except for the gnomes?! But all of that only helped me understand his character even more.

It felt that way The characters and events portrayed in this book are fictitious. Instead of just following through with the established canonical story threads he decided to have a big reboot which left me as a reader feeling mostly confused as I was trying to piece together the rules of this new reality for example, Jack who's whole thing is that he doesn't sleep can suddenly take naps to talk to his dead girlfriend, but also not? I honestly think that pages could have been cut out. Yet I still feel like the very end was just a little anticlimactic.
