Gas (And Other Liquids) Nicholas Barnes

A college-educated gas station attendant chokes back murderous disdain for his customers; a Boston writer discovers the truth behind deja vu; Sarcasmo, Philosophreak, Insane Vague Man, and Incredible Kiss Ass lead their band of renegade alien superheroes against the forces of Earthly evil; Robert Nozick accidentally stumbles upon The Great Truth; "The Lone Cormac" transforms an otherwise mediocre short story into a Pulitzer-worthy masterpiece; Satan, Jesus, J. S. Bach, and Attila the Hun give Harpster, Ohio locals a run for their money at the annual Hickory Grove Golf Scramble. A full cup of daring comedy and fantastic madness, "Gas (and other liquids)" loudly establishes Nicholas Barnes as one of America's busiest writers.
