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 made an audible account solely to listen to ‘Tales from the gas station’. I’m still listening to MCPs version but I plan on listening all over with the theatrical version.
I fell in love with the story and its characters since I stumbled over it through Creep Cast and hope to see further installments in the future. But even if the series ends where it is right now, I’d be happy.
It’s a great series, you did an amazing job. My only regret is that I didn’t find it sooner.
Love
my dude. i got my husband into reading the series (he has a pavlovian response to playing fallout while i read it to him) and he cannot wait for this version.
it says that you're credited in the list of voices, are you going to be voicing jack yourself? (i havent listened to the other theatricals so idk if this was always the case)
just finished rereading the entire series its so peak
This is all great news! However, I am still patiently waiting to hear back about my employment application....
