About The Station by The GwaK
After being expelled from middle school, a young boy must find his way through the struggles of the working class. After not looking very far, he finds employment at a small gas station in a dangerous part of town. There, beyond pumping gas, slinging cigarettes, and wrestling with hoboes, he finds himself working for a man who has a fetish for mayhem. Falling prey to the influences of his surroundings, laughing hysterically, and cursing as if he invented it, the boy embarks on a journey into senseless chaos and the macabre. But just as he becomes confident of his abilities, he’s accused of a crime. And without support or witnesses to his character, he’s left waiting for his fate to unfold.
The Station is an extraordinary true story—an elegy of childhood alienation, social dysfunction, and psychological terrorism. Narrated by the foul-mouthed antihero himself, this filthy account will have you washing your hands with the turn of every page.

Author Bio:
The GwaK is a nameless, faceless byproduct of negative human energy aggrandized by modern invention. He is the author of the writing on the wall, an unfiltered, unrestricted, uncompromising voice of social struggle—a poet by preference and a novelist by necessity. His work is derived from personal experience, with hints of humor, savagery, and uncanny metaphors, bringing to life the antagonists who helped to shape him into one of modern society’s most prolific militant malcontents.
His debut adult novel, The Station, is the first volume in an upcoming series entitled My Resumé of Discontent. That novel and other works of his can be found by direct email at thegwak@thegwak.net or by visiting his upcoming website, thegwak.net
