Make Love the Bruce Campbell Way

By: Bruce Campbell

Narrated by: Bruce Campbell

When I was a kid, my dad brought home a one-fourth-inch reel-to-reel tape recorder from work - positively state-of-the-art in 1967. With brothers Mike and Don, I recorded epic WWII battles and adventures on the moon (eerie moon effects made possible by a fancy "echo" knob). Playing the recordings back for anyone who would listen, I reveled in how simple recording tricks - like crinkling paper to simulate the sound of fire - could fool an audience.

Audio is a unique medium because it invites listeners to become a part of the process, to interpret what they hear, however they'd like, whereas motion pictures leave no such room for input.

When high school rolled around, my pal Sam Raimi and I both shared the same radio speech class, which led to a morning radio show on Fridays, during homeroom. It was a great opportunity to explore the medium more seriously - this time with sounds effects from professional libraries, and music that even came in on cue! Although clunky and amateurish, the experience hooked me on audio forever.

With the completion of this book, the prospects of doing a "regular" audio adaptation weren't very appealing. But then a few things dawned on me: First, that I'm the lead character of the book; second, as an actor by trade, I could play the part; and third, I'm knee-deep in actor pals - why not record the book like a radio play?

So that's exactly what happened.

I rounded up an excellent troupe of thespians, from both Los Angeles and my home state of Oregon, and we recorded what was to become an unabridged, six-hour epic program.

I hope you enjoy Make Love the Bruce Campbell Way - and thanks for listening!

A MUST HAVE!!

This is pure entertainment the Bruce Campbell way! Gonna listen to this occasionally and It’s a classic

Laugh outloud funny and a good time

If you love Bruce then you’ll enjoy the story telling. Much like old radio stories with sound effects making you feel like you’re in the scene. You got that all in this book. Mix it with Bruce slapstick humor. This had me laughing a good few many times. Definitely recommend.

literally my favorite audiobook

Not quite an audiobook, more of a full audio play with sound effects and surprisingly solid acting. 10/10

Hidden Gem

I wasn't sure what to expect from this book, but I like Bruce Campbell so I gave it a try. I must say this book is a hidden gem and I'm surprised there aren't more reviews/ratings for this. The story was never predictable, entertaining the whole time & was an excellent performance. Bruce is an excellent narrator and I hope he does more audiobooks in the future.

What audiobooks should be like!!!!!

I thoroughly enjoyed this audiobook. Most of the others that I listen to are nonfiction so you wouldn't expect sound effects. The problem starts when that monotone manner of delivering information transfers to fiction. I don't want to hear a book that's just some guy talking. I want to hear ambient sound, background noise fleshing out the scene, different voices for different characters, etc... This book did all that for me, with the added benefit of being narrated by Campbell. I was happy to hear "If Chins Could Kill" but I was outright cracking up with this one. Definitely recommend this to anyone who was to sit back, relax, and enjoy a story where everything actually happened, except for the stuff that didn't.
