Why this must be read:
A tall tale is a uniquely American story form that features a larger-than-life, or superhuman, main character with a specific task. Many tall tales are based on actual people or on a composite of actual people. Exaggeration is the major element in tall tales.
A construction of a world that is only tentatively aware of The Winchesters. Who have an almost mythic reputation.
Sam and Dean have a reputation. Among hunters, among people who hear of their adventures. It's a world that isn’t entirely blind to their presence. So they become almost mythic. Not so much a narrative as snippets of their lives, adventure descriptions, and Ideas others have of their reputations. Saving people; hunting things. The family business. It leaves a mark on the world and people don't need The Winchester Gospels to turn the brothers into stories.
