About BC Books Online
BC Books Online was created for anyone interested in BC-published books, and with librarians especially in mind. We'd like to make it easy for library staff to learn about books from BC publishers - both new releases and backlist titles - so you can inform your patrons and keep your collections up to date.
Our site features print books and ebooks - both new releases and backlist titles - all of which are available to order through regular trade channels. Browse our subject categories to find books of interest or create and export lists by category to cross-reference with your library's current collection.
A quick tip: When reviewing the "Browse by Category" listings, please note that these are based on standardized BISAC Subject Codes supplied by the books' publishers. You will find additional selections, grouped by theme or region, in our "BC Reading Lists."

Description
From the author of 'Stupid Crimes', 'Krekshuns' and 'Stand in Hell' come more fictional wanderings. 'Gas Tank & Other Stories' casts disparate characters into tumultuous scenes of moral terror, testing their courage, energy, and capacity to endure.
'Gas Tank' is not a pretty book. You won't find romance. You won't laugh until your sides ache. You may not recommend the book to your mother. But you won't be able to put it down." - The Vancouver Sun
