Details:
from track 1. Introduction: "...this recorded book is brought to you by Sad Bastard Media Industries, fine purveyors of doom and gloom since 2005. Hello friends, we at the Sad Bastard Book Club Audiobook Division or the SBBCABD as we refer to it for short in the office, humbly welcome you to The Collected Short Stories of Carrie Anne Crowe as interpreted by The Sad Bastard Book Club. ... At this point you may be scratching your heads, ' interpretations?' Yes, interpretations. You see, about a month ago we received a certified letter from Ms. Crowe's lawyer, a Mr. Arthur Jacobs of Flagstaff, AZ informing us that if we reprinted any of Ms. Crowe's work he would 'sue us blind'. Now I'm not exactly sure how it is physically possible to sue a person to the point of blindness, no did Mr. Jacobs apparently as he failed to respond to our inquest on how this was so and the book club lacks vision care in its health insurance plan so we decided it was in our best interest to head the warning. Instead of the stories themselves we have crafted stories about the stories; or in some cases stories that vaguely relate to the stories. Though, admittedly by the end of this we were basically writing anything at all..."
The companion audiobook to The Collected Short Stories of Carrie Anne Crowe shows a lighter side of The Sad Bastard Book Club. The audiobook mirrors the musical album in every detail, giving explanations, further explorations, and insight into the album tracks. Simultaneously, however, the audiobook stands alone in some tracks, leaving the listener to wonder how, if at all, the audiobook chapter is related to the musical album track. Humor, alongside bizarre stories make this perhaps the most unique addition to the CDBaby catalog.
