I love the Tales From the Gas Station stories in their entirety. The audible versions are easy to listen to and definitely portray the energy of the characters appropriately. There are some voices that sound similar enough that dialog can get confusing if both characters are in the same scene. Still this is a great read or listen

I feel like “bait and switch” happened. It started as a ghost story and turns out those clues were deliberately misleading and suddenly it’s a story about phrogging and legal issues. And the main characters haven’t been established enough by that point to make me emotionally involved enough to build suspense, just some sympathetic frustration — a lot of frustration since it’s really a messed up situation. But it isn’t the story in the description that drew me in. Maybe there’s more supernatural stuff in later episodes but I am too annoyed to keep listening.

Never a dull moment! The story flowed through twists and turns that kept me guessing. Really a well done book.

I listen to Horror Hill and always found Hill’s affect to be a bit flat. Definitely worked to best advantage here keeping the story moving forward smoothly.

Loved it!

Drew Blood could read the dictionary and make it fabulous but even he could not make this travesty of fiction worth the time wasted listening. A good bit of the set up involves repetition of a summary sentence that there were a lot of torture implements beyond imagination. Must have been. Hours of the main character describing weird and gross torture. Somehow he’s rich enough to do nothing but set up his house with hidden depths, keep “throw away” cars all over the country, keep some victims alive with high tech medical equipment for years, and dug out an extensive underground multiple chamber dungeon (hallways! He mentions hallways!), etc. The whole thing feels like it’s trying to mimic Dexter but it lacks— it just lacks. Disappointed doesn’t cover it.

The narrator’s voice is ff-putting, making it difficult to listen for any length of time.

The original radio programs are wonderful but this compilation includes a number of episodes missing half the story - sometimes the first half, sometimes the end. Makes me regret the purchase when I can find a number of these for free in podcast form with better production quality.
