Hey friends! At long last, the fourth and final instalment in the Tales from the Gas Station series is available as a fully immersive audio experience! Performed by dozens of voice actors, with scoring, music, and sound effects to bring the world of the gas station to life. If you've been waiting for this, thank you for your patience. This one took a lot of time and effort, but I honestly think it was worth the wait.
Quick FAQ:
Q. How is this different from the audiobooks that were released several years ago?
A. The "Theatrical Edition" audiobooks have an entire cast of voice actors, with nearly every character played by their own designated performer. You can check out the whole cast at this link. The theatrical editions also contain a musical score, including original music by the legendary Myuu, as well as foley and other effects. There are also a few small additions to the text in the theatrical audiobook versions.
Q. What's the best way to listen to the theatrical audiobooks?
A. These books went through testing on myriad headset and speaker options to guarantee that you'll have a quality experience no matter how you enjoy your audiobook. The better your headphones, the crisper the sounds of bones breaking and guts squishing.
Q. Are these books available anywhere other than Audible/iTunes?
A. As of right now, no. I'm tied up in a multi-year exclusivity contract with Audible. It's a whole thing. I apologize for any inconvenience.
Q. I prefer the non-theatrical versions of the audiobooks that were narrated by Mr. Creepypasta. Should I leave a bad review for the new theatrical versions?
A. OHMYGOD PLEASE DON'T DO THAT! If you prefer Mr. Creepypasta's narrations, that's totally fine. The audiobooks he recorded are still available on Audible and iTunes. I promise, review bombing the new version does not help. If anything, it makes the algorithm less likely to recommend any of my titles (including the MCP collaborations) to potential new listeners.
Q. Why did you take the MCP versions of the audiobook off of Audible?
A. I didn't. I assure you, they're still available.
Q. What's the best way to support you?
A. If you like my stuff, tell your friends. Word of mouth (and a good review) are absolutely invaluable to authors like me.
Q. Will there be another book in the "Tales from the Gas Station" series?
A. Maybe. I don't know. Anything's possible.
I love just how weird this whole series is and I've really enjoyed the full cast performance.
Thank you for working with such talanted people

Love you Jack!
Please please please 🙏 write another book in this series. I love these characters and the tales from the road book would be amazing 😻 However, if you decide you are done with the series, i completely understand. I love your writing and look forward to what else you have coming next.
Hello there, Mr Townsend! :D
I really really love your works and I've been sharing your stuff to my friends because you are probably the COOLEST person I've discovered in this niche corner of the internet. My birthday is coming up and I was asked what I want to be in my birthday wishlist. I decided to put your TFTGS books! (Because so far I've only read your blog posts and I wanna up my support than just being a silly nilly) I can't wait to get and read those.
Your works have helped me find inspiration in continuing making art of/from the weird stuff that I also got going on in my odd place of origin.
Anyway, much love…
