Tales from the Gas Station: Volume 1

Product Information

Most of the events and strange occupancies didn't seem to fit together very well. Many things were also not properly explained or tied in which left me feeling more confused than anything else when finishing the book. When you walk into the bar, and this beautiful girl gives you this big, welcoming smile, and you think to yourself ‘This girl digs me!’, right before her huge boyfriend who entered after you passes you.

I was not disappointed at all. Fast read, very interesting, prose is very different from anything I’ve read in a while and just an all

This adventure was so crazy, so interesting, so quaint, so creepy, so funny, and soooo… cozy. Well, it’s closer to witty jokes, nevertheless, I was openly laughing quite often. My husband listened to this on audiobook and said, "You should buy this. It's like John Dies at the End. You'll love it." This was a unique novel. In many ways, the writing style reminded me of Jeff Strand with the injection of humor throughout. Like with Strand's work, it flows very well here.

It’s a well-build story, all those events connected and logical (crazy, yeah). Every part of the story isn’t forgotten and not for nothing. I worried, The Tales could be alike Welcome to Night Vale, where it seems, the book is a set of random crazy events. But The Tales are logical in their craziness and I had a great time with it. I determinate to read his next books but want to wait a cooler season – I think it’s more proper vibes for reading The Tales. OFF is where your mind goes when you fully believe, even for a fraction of a second, something that goes against your personal logic, reason and life experience. In other words, to believe in something you think is impossible. 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… The year is 2012 and the first episode of "Welcome to the Night Vale" airs. People start to gather around this strange phenomena and small town vibes. But, once I tell you, you will never forget it. And you’ll be surprised by the number of times it happens to you. It doesn’t matter what you call that place, the name will probably differ from person to person.we're talking hand plants, transporting into another dimension in a kitty pool and multiple spawnings and unaliving of a dude named Kiefer. This was exactly what I expected from a Tales from the Gas Station story, was definitely not disappointed. Lots of unexpected twists that you wouldn't guess from the regular stories on Reddit. Finding out the missing pieces of the free stories (the Halloween incident, whatever happend to certain characters, deeper character motivations) just tied things together. Mrcreepypasta as narrator of the Audible version did great, as always. I can't wait for Volume 2. So, the best advice I can give you, is to break this one up into two or three parts. Read something in between, just to keep the humor fresh. It’s weird, and I like weird. But there are moments of hilarity and what I think is just flat out brilliant writing. This book is not to be taken seriously or… I guess you could and just not have a good time, up to you.
