A book that plays with the concept of the liminal space of a gas station that's also the dimensional crossroad for strange, silly, spooky, and murderous happenings. The writing is fun and very tongue in cheek though a few times it kind of dips a bit too far into cringy millenial humor - I didn't really care for the Brick Roscoe segments nor the Dark God's dialogue at the end. It also seems to lose just a little steam toward the end as far as the humor goes. All in all, it's still a really worthwhile read.
