* In ''Fanfic/AFrozenFlower'', Otto points a client that he and Olive are helping, the Root Beer Man, to a gas station convenience store so he can get some root beer, instead of getting it from a tree. When he goes into the store, he seemingly disappears, causing Otto to follow him once the case is solved. It turns out to house a group of dormant ''lamberos'' who have killed the man and who nearly do the same to Otto once he walks inside and discovers the corpse.

For a number of reasons, lonely gas stations are a popular setting for horror writers to use. Much of this is perhaps that gas stations are a place that pretty much everyone who has driven a car needs to visit at least once in a while. As such, they are bound to attract some weird and dangerous people, both in real life and in fiction.

It's a foggy, winter day in the middle of nowhere. And on the long, curving highway is a gas station. A generic, everyday, normal gas station. The perfect place to be haunted by a ghost, stalked by a serial killer, [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking or have your wallet empty from the ridiculously high fuel prices.]]
