That was one of my favorite moments in the whole story. It comes so out of nowhere, I love it!

SERIOUS SPOILERS AHEAD FOR VOLUME 3 The Russian Radio is touched upon quite a bit in the books and we never get an in-depth explanation of what it is, however, the source of the radio waves is seen briefly when Jack and crew storm -REDACTED-'s base at the end of Volume 3. In chapter 47, Jack is passing all of the things the Collector has been collecting. One of them is described only as "A giant tank of water longer than my[Jack's] arm span and at least 10 feet tall. The only thing inside was a round, humanoid head the size of a beach ball. It was connected to hundreds of metal wires, like hair. I touched the tank and suddenly felt it in my jaw bone: a Slavic voice, a signal." The radio signal is then transmitted directly into Jack's head, proclaiming that they have arrived at the final showdown. It would appear that this is the source of the "Russian Radio". Simply another being from a different dimension that the Collector has lured into the Gas Stations reality, time, and location... only to be collected. If I remember correctly, this is all we know about the actual source of the Russian Radio.

It was a thing, Got revoked for simple reasons involving volume 3 coming out and amazon/or somethings terms, That's all :) The only reason I know this is because I follow MCP on YouTube and he made a story post about why his videos on those stories went offline. Don't worry, your not crazy!

The "Big Bad" story arch??? I would love to see how that plays out!!! I feel like he's not as scary since he still has time to follow Jacks blog. Lol

I'm not Jack, but I'd like to throw my two cents in.(this will contain spoilers/elude to the ending of volume three BTW) I would say that the books are the main cannon, and the blog posts on this site are an extension of the reality that the books exist in... The blog posts that we read are, in a way, actually the posts that Jack talks about in the book. I would be more confident about that theory, but the fact that we don't see any of the things that The Elm Street Irregulars(or T.E.I. from here on out) say makes me question it. Highlight below to reveal spoilers! With the way the third volume ended, I am not to sure anymore. Maybe the "reality" we live in is a result of what happens at the end of the third volume, and I'm not speaking of current events or anything(I chose to escape in my fiction books :/), just the fact that what happens in the books seems to differ slightly from what we read in the blog. Maybe Jack is re-writing the blog from his memory in his new reality(this one). That's why we don't see T.E.I. commenting on THIS blog. It's Jacks most recent attempt at writing the blog after having been erased by certain Beings or events. Maybe he is changing the stories slightly just like Bedside Manor so they are not deleted again by the Powers that Be. This would mean that everything that we read up until the Halloween story takes place in the past in a different reality. This could also explain why Jack choses not to mention B.R. in his blog posts in this new reality... for obvious reasons :) Hopefully you enjoyed my thoughts on this :)

Thanks much Jack! I feel like it can be really fun to talk about some of the lingering mysteries only found in the books :)

That is from an earlier revision of the story that was definitely on the blog first, and YouTube. I can't remember the exact name of the line of stories("Where are we at?" or something like that) but they were pretty good. The stories ended with Jerry returning to the gas station after Jack has what can only be described as a mental breakdown. I seem to remember MCP(Mr.CreepyPasta) posting something on YouTube about the stories being taken down for some sort of 'legal' reason involving amazon/kindle or something like that, with the release of the third book. Also, the third book pretty much covers the exact same story down to a tee IIRC without very many changes, just a few additions... but I may be wrong, it has been a long time since I listened to those stories, or read the third volume.

I thought his name was Stabbins... I may be wrong though.

I was going to ask the same thing, I assume it has something to do with an alternate reality that Jack wasn't supposed to tell us about. I'm sure CDC/FBI/BYOB agent's Brick Rosco will fix that shortly :)

Thanks for making the Forum Jack! This should be a cool place to hang out. I originally started with your stories by listening to them on Mr.CreepyPasta, and by the time I listened to both audio books during work hours I was so utterly hooked that I bought the E-book and read the whole thing within two weeks. This is kind of amazing to me because I have some sort of issue, and I have the hardest time 'reading' fiction books, they just don't keep my attention. I hate to say it but your third book was the first fiction book I have ever read in full, so thanks for being an awesome author dude! I really appreciate the work you do and your writing style, I wish you all the best.
