Make Love! the Bruce Campbell Way by Bruce Campbell

This approach generates some of the most witty showbiz lunacy since This Is Spinal Tap.

What you're reading right now is known as the flap copy. This is where the 72,444 words of my latest book are cooked down to fit this space. But how does one do that? Do you reveal pivotal plot points like the one at the end of the book where the little girl on crutches points an accusing finger and shouts, The killer is Mr. Potter?
I have too much respect for you as an attention-deficient consumer to attempt such an obvious ruse. But let's not play games here. You picked up the book already, so you either:
A. Know who I am
B. Liked the cool smoking jacket I'm wearing on the cover
C. Have just discovered that the bookstore restroom is out of toilet paper
Is it a sequel to my autobiography If Chins Could Kill: Confessions of a B Movie Actor? Sadly, no, which made it much harder to write. According to my publisher, I haven't done enough since 2001 to warrant another memoir.
Is it an autobiographical novel? Yes. I'm the lead character in the story, and I'm a real person, and everything in the book actually happened, except for the stuff that didn't.
The action revolves around my preparations for a pivotal role in the A-list relationship film Let's Make Love But my Homeric attempt to break through the glass ceiling of B-grade genre fare is hampered by a vengeful studio executive and a production that becomes infected by something called the B movie virus, symptoms of which include excessive use of cheesy special effects, slapstick, and projectile vomiting.
From a violent fistfight with a Buddhist to a life-altering stint in federal prison, this novel has it all. And if the 72,444 words are too time-consuming, there are lots and lots of cool graphics.
Regards,
Bruce Don't Call Me Ash Campbell

Praise for Make Love the Bruce Campbell Way

It's a great, goofy what-if.
---Entertainment Weekly

Ultimately, Make Love is a Bruce Campbell novel, starring Bruce Campbell, written for Bruce Campbell fans for whom Bruce Campbell can do no wrong. They'll no doubt find Campbell's latest endeavor nothing short of---to quote one of his most famous characters---groovy.

One of the most delightfully deranged experiences you'll have reading this year. Hail to the king, baby.

He is a former fellow of the Wissenschaftskolleg zu Berlin and a member of the Academia Europaea, Academy of Social Sciences, British Academy, Royal Historical Society, and Royal Irish Academy. His teaching at Queen's from 1973 to 2010 covered the economic and environmental history of Britain and Ireland over the last millennium. He was a graduate of the Universities of Liverpool and Cambridge. He is the author of English Seigniorial Agriculture 1250-1450 (2000), co-author of A Medieval Capital and Its Grain Supply: Agrarian Production and Distribution in the London Area c.1300 (1993), and England on the Eve of the Black Death: An Atlas of Lay Lordship, Land, and Wealth, 1300-49 (2006), as well as three collections of essays: His research makes use of the abundance of comprehensive statistical data found in England's large medieval archives to shed methodical light on the country's economic development at a time when it was still comparatively impoverished, underdeveloped, and prone to food crises and famine. He is now working on the manuscript for his 2013 Ellen McArthur Lectures, which will be published by Cambridge University Press.
