Story
The Cool Side of My Pillow is a collection of essays. Don’t let that fancy word fool you. I’m not trying to get highbrow or rant myself blue, but there are experiences and observations outside of the entertainment industry that I feel are worth sharing. What’s it about? Mostly, things that matter to me, like putting in the effort, being honest, and not treating the environment like it’s the enemy.

Audio is a unique medium. 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. With the completion of this book, it dawned on me that, as an actor by trade, I could play the part; and 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 this epic listen for you to hear!

Story
In a country torn between left and right, two politicians are about to make history. How? By working together! In a nutshell, that’s the premise of this book. House Divided is a political satire, but it’s really a political fantasy, because it takes two opposing candidates, who wouldn’t normally be caught dead together, and challenges them to spend a weekend in the remote Oregon desert - hiking together, camping together, even getting wasted together!

Publisher's Summary
New York Times bestseller
One of my dad’s favorite jokes about getting older was: “I went out for coffee when I was twenty-one and when I got back I was fifty-eight!”
I get what he meant now. Time flies. My first book, If Chins Could Kill: Confessions of a "B" Movie Actor, was published back in 2001 and it chronicles the adventures of a “mid-grade, kind of hammy actor" (my words), cutting his teeth on exploitation movies far removed from mainstream Hollywood.
This next book, an “Act II” if you will, could be considered my “maturing years” in show business, when I began to say “no” more often and gravitated toward self-generated material. Taking stock in the overall quality of my life, I fled Los Angeles and moved to a remote part of Oregon to renew, regroup and reload.
If that sounds tame, the journey from Evil Dead to Spider-Man to Burn Notice was long, with plenty of adventures/mishaps along the way. I never pictured myself hovering above Baghdad in a Blackhawk helicopter, facing a pack of wild dogs in Bulgaria, or playing an aging Elvis Presley with cancer on his penis - how can you predict this stuff? The sheer lunacy of show business is part of the fun for me and I hope you'll come along for the ride.
– Bruce “Don’t Call Me Ash” Campbell
An icon of B movies and a champion of independent filmmaking, Bruce Campbell is an actor, director and writer best known for his roles as Ash in the Evil Dead franchise and Sam Axe on the hit TV show Burn Notice.
Written and read by Bruce Campbell. Co-written with Craig Sanborn. Recording and sound design by Sean McCoy at Oregon Sound Recording.

More Bruce!
Not as quite as tight as the first book, with his home life anecdotes being perhaps less humorous childhood and adolescent hijinks and more painting pictures of the Oregon life and the people there, but it does give a much more intimate feel for what Campbell is (probably) really like.
Some of the confessions really are just that. Unlike most people, Bruce doesn't always paint himself in a glowing light and it is refreshing and interesting even when you might sometimes think "he can be a bit of a jerk sometimes!" We are all jerks now and then, and it's nice to hear someone self aware enough and confident enough to go ahead an put their own less than perfect moments out there. It brings him into reality that much more and makes it all seem a bit more intimate and relatable.
Behind the scenes anecdotes for several of his films and his TV shows Burn Notice and Ash VS Evil Dead are here as well as behind the curtain of the Con circuit.
As an audio book, Campbell does not disappoint. It is easy to forget sometimes that he is even reading a book at all, especially given the (perhaps mundane) details of his life in the mountains of Oregon. It was a lot like listening to anyone talk about their past. When it comes to sections on touring a war zone or his run ins with living legends, Bruce virtually lights up, seeming to relive what he is reading. He even throws in one or two tidbits that are not in the book.
If you enjoyed his last bio, and weren't in it just for Evil Dead, you will probably enjoy this one too. It's a bit soft in the second quarter, but it was certainly worth the time.

A Bruce Campbell Work of Art
I picked up this audiobook because I am a Bruce Campbell fan and it was on sale at Christmas time. I am glad I did!
Being a fan of most everything I have seen Bruce Campbell in I figured I might enjoy this work. I will admit when it first started, I started to have second thoughts about that. It didn't take long for those doubts to disappear and I settled into an awesome listening session to part 2 of 3 of the Bruce Campbell life trilogy.
This book was presented and read spectacularly by Bruce. The story was engaging as is Bruce's style. If you are a fan of his works or just want to hear a really interesting story, I definitely recommend picking this book. A 4.25 star listen.

Ah, Bruce Campbell, you know, that B-list actor?
Pretty good 3rd book, Bruce; very insightful. You truly are a "Jack of All Trades"! As a narrator, you're entertaining, but you talk too fast.

Couldn't put it down.
Campbell's easy going and funny demeanour translate superbly in audio format. He's a terrific storyteller and while very funny, this book is a great behind-the-scene look at the movie and TV industry. Highly recommended. #Audible1
