The Official Gas Station Timeline

Updated: Dec 28, 2024

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

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.

I believe that all the tales are on this website, but I dunno. Probably wrong.

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.
