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).
VOLUME ONE
Tales from the Gas Station: the Dark God
(Events occur during Volume One)
Something Weird came into the Gas Station
(Events occur between Volumes One and Two)
VOLUME TWO
Finding Vanessa
(Events occur during Volume Two)
Merry Christmas from the Gas Station
(Events occur during Volume Two)
A Murder at the Gas Station

Death at the Gas Station
(Events occur during Volume Three)
We Don't Celebrate AFD at the Gas Station
(Events occur during Volume Three)

Jack, thank you for sharing these tales with the world. My reality is certainly better having had the chance to spend some time in yours. Seriously, though, this series has rocketed to the very top of my all-time favorites!
I just got tales from the gas station volumes one through four for Christmas. I just completed number three. It’s been a fun ride so far.
Hey there, im looking to read the original posts from reddit to my wife (as thats how i read it all first) but cant seem to find them, ive got the audio books but my wife wants to hear my voice and i dont have the books in paper form
Just found the books... Okay, I'm really enjoying them (well, listening to them). Thanks. On volume 2 right now. So, I'm thinking that Deputy O'Brian has a "crush" on Jack. Can't wait to find out.
I'm grateful you still update this post!
