Tales from the Gas Station: Volume Three

FINALLY some things about this series get explained and resolved. Finally we circle back to a bunch of stuff, certain things get explained!!!!
Now... I will say something about this series. It's so weird and has so many elements, you have to read them relatively close to each other, otherwise you will forget a bunch of the fever dream type shit that goes down. Great for a binge, if you are so inclined.

So far, this is the most seriously horror of the books. The other two had fucked up, gory stuff, but this seems to have longer stretches of just dark stuff and everything going wrong for our characters. Jack reaches his deepest point yet.
It also really leans into the whole idea of Jack being unreliable in so many different ways that by the end you don't even know in what way you should accept that this is not happening. Or is it? All in all, things go super trippy.

One thing you need to know; it's unlikely you will be able to solve any of the mysteries yourself. The story is just too unpredictable and seemingly random for anyone to really be able to reason it. Maybe you can write things on a board and throw a dart into it, whatever it hits is your theory. That would probably be the most accurate way to do this.

I'm still not entirely in love with the typical “small town America is like the most awful thing, we are too special for such a place”. It's still a bit yuppie, a bit too “I'm smarter than the pleb”, but otherwise it's fine.

I finally figured out what happened with Jack. Great book! Cant wait for the 4th!
