Greg Crites returns to the site with his novel, Crusade:
A drug-fueled crusade by two deranged journalists assigned to look into the morass of organized religion. Cornholery, snake handlers, faith healers, serial killers, sarcasm, blasphemy-good, clean, American fun.

Ooops, forgot to mention, if you are religious, give this one a pass. You WILL be offended. There are 22 episodes, representing 42 chapters, approximately 89,000 words.

Nothing like having the book to read-along with the narrator. Why? Because I have slow ears. What is slow ears? It is the ability to not hear wife speaking [now my ex]. It happens sometimes that I buzz out and lose it. Now what? Start over? No, I can read!!! Yup. Crusade is one hell of a great book, but as a podcast, it totally rocks. I heard others and the narrators sound like my wife. You don’t want to be on the freeway when I am driving if I have a podcast from another writer!
May 30th, 2008 at 2:40 pm
You are a great narrator. I listen to a lot of books on CD and your narration was easy to listen to, I could imagine the main character having “that voice,” with the inflections, everything. Actors narrate books on CD. You are an actor, or at least have an actor’s sensibilities. As far as the writing, the story is very engaging, funny, reminds me of “My Name is Earl.” I know these kinds of people. From the time you introduced the title and said the narrator is the same idiot who wrote it, you had me.
May 30th, 2008 at 9:06 pm
I always have such fun with your stories and this one isn’t any different. I think you are a great narrator, and I love how you give each character their own “Voice.” And anything that gets my husband’s attention is a good thing. Anyway, I have fun listening, Thanks.
May 31st, 2008 at 6:56 pm
I dunno, Greg, I’ve got to episode 10 and it seems to me that journalists are more likely to be offended than religious persons.
Or maybe I know more religious people than journalists.
Your books are addictive, and your characters have contagious speech patterns. (Is that the kind of thing you mean by leaving some love here?) I hope you are having fun recording your books because I insist on hearing them all.
I’m so proud, you said “pod”. But I don’t want to force you to relive scary movies (I still remember Donald Sutherland pointing his finger and screaming. Ugh.) so Podeodeo is fine. In fact, Evo is taking care of that part of the intro so you don’t have to.

Hey Gail, Dewey, Sharon and Elburon…oh and whoever that Portuguese (Brazilian?) at mundositio (world location?Ah, I got like two words of Portuguese and one of ‘em’s chupacabra) Har! Thanks for the love. And that’s right. I don;t need to mention the podeeodeeobooks.com, someone is tagging my episodes for me.
I said that pahdeobooks.com just for you, Gail. And I don’t know who’s offended, I just know someone is. I was a journalist, and no newsgatherer who has their privates clamped under the iron vise of the advertising department can get through the day without serious abuse of mind-altering substances. Whenever I tried to write some real news, the ad department killed it.
Anyway, glad to see anyone smiling because of something I’ve written, it’s what I aspire to when cranking out this nonsense.

I love this book and you are fantastic reading it. We burned it to cds to listen to on our road trip this weekend. There were times where my husband almost had to pull off the road because he was laughing so hard he couldn’t see! I believe the worst time was the beans incident with Warren.
June 4th, 2008 at 7:39 am
Sweet mother of gawd, this book is great! I’ve been needing to hear something based mostly on sticking a thumb in the eye of general civil and religious society. I’m glad I found this one.
Being a dyed in the wool heathen ™ and West Virginian myself, the charicature you paint of both is frighteningly accurate. Either you’re from near here, been here, or went to college and had some anthropology classes and paid attention.
good stuff, good stuff….
June 4th, 2008 at 3:07 pm
I am sorry to say so, but there is no way I can hear what this guy says. One moment he is shouting so loud I must turn it down ( I don’t like noise when I enjoy literature) the next he is down right mumbling and I can’t hear what he say cos I just turned it down. So up it goes again, and as soon as I turn it up he shouts again. Is it SO! difficult to achieve a steady audio level. I mean with all the cheap top audio gear avilable for podcasting this should be a breeze but no.
Every second audio book I encounter is no good audio vise, and that is a shame.
Cos it is so easy to do, and it totally ruins the book when the audio distracts.
Sorry I would have loved to listen to this book, but I just can’t make out what he is saying..

Just what I enjoy, comments from an illiterate pinhead recently kicked out of the Hooked On Phonics advanced class.. Suck a pellet out of my crevice. Har!
Joshua! Glad you are enjoying Crusade.

Easy, Greg, easy.
Sounds like per ove sleen has valuable advice to post on that website - specific audio set-ups that sound good for cheap. Plenty of people would be interested, and might benefit.
Also I don’t think this audio can be the one that’s meant, it has to be the Devlin one, which has already been discussed elsewhere.
Now let’s discuss my recent purchase from veinarmory.
When you autograph my book, Greg, wash your hands and sign it Happy Birthday, because I bought the club membership for ME. I need something to read while I wait for you to podcast the rest of your collection.
Besides, I’m curious about Devlin’s back story.
June 5th, 2008 at 12:50 pm
Nah, per ove sleen uve boll wannabe is just another Eastern European spamtard. All I see on that site is numerous instances of amateurish artwork at just above the Crayola stage. Spamtard did a drive-by of three podiobookers in a failed attempt to drum up business for his worthless t-shirts I wouldn’t wipe myself with. I don’t mind when someone does not like my work, there are a lot of people who don’t; I just like them to know I could care less about their opinions. I do understand the tremendous self-control it took the spamtard to stop manufacturing children long enough to master the barest rudiments of English, but you need some ‘game’ if you wanna play in my sandbox. The androgenous clown wants to start a flame with me and I’ll burn it to a cinder. I’m not a podcaster, or an actor, but I am an unparalleled writer-slash-asshole and eat these spamtards without breaking a sweat.
Gail, you are getting the first Dunkin, The Vampire Slayer where Devlin makes his very first appearance. Signed and with a dvd containing all of my finished books. Like I said, I am not a podcaster, or a voice talent, or apparently, a web programmer. Heh! I burned the entire forum the other evening and my pals are trying to rebuild it right now. I’m the designer and artist, if they didn’t want me in there they should have locked me out. It’s not my fault I like to play with code. Anyway, they said it will be up and functional by the weekend. I’ll have your account setup (if they give me the new password) and email it.
June 5th, 2008 at 4:26 pm
gotcha.
I forgot about the club member exclusive access to behind the scenes. Whenever.
(Psst, Joshua, if I find out where Greg is from, I’ll let you know. lol I’m from Southwestern Virginia and thought he was from around there. There’s only one person I ever heard say West By God Virginia before I heard it here.)
Ladyn, I’ll take your comment as a warning label for the CDs when I listen in the car. I’ve been sniggering in public while wearing headphones, which only gets me odd looks.
June 8th, 2008 at 1:57 am
It is very saddening to see a fellow artist take a well meant advice in this fashion.
If I offended you I am sorry cos that was never my intention.
I am just of the meaning that if one find a job worth doing, it is also worth doing it as well as one can manage according to ones ability, skills and recurses (ability and skills can often quit easy be improved ore boosted).
I started listening to your recording and the storyline got my attention right away (as in I loved it and found it very intriguing).
Time travels, steam punk and nuts scientists (nuts as in willing to try anything on one self to prove ones theories) is some of my favorite subjects in fantasy and science fiction literature.
I managed to stick it out for three episodes then I had to give it up.
As you so politely pointed out my english leaves a lot to wish and hope for, but my excuse is that it is not my language.I am a Norwegian living in Norway where we speak Norwegian.
I have no problem understanding any sort of English (even thick dialect and most slang….thanks to friends around the world, tv and movies), but I am not that good at writing it (never learned any in school, only autodidact).
Same in German too, but when it’s mixed up with noise, just mumbled ore simply low quality recording I get problems ( I am not alone, there are millions online same as me….you don’t want us to listen to your recordings?…pity).
By the way how many languages do you speak/read/understand.
You see some people try to learn to communicate with as many as one can manage in order to understand and observe people from other cultures and befriend them.
Some of us happen to think that is important…and fun.
So even if we don’t talk ore write perfect all the time, at least we make an effort……ore is that offending to you as well?
I also fail to see what my art has to do with this, but I also know that projecting is a very common way of verbal self defense.
Considering this I will leave it at that and only mention that the art has served its purpose so fare…namely feeding me and my two children and keeping us with a roof over our head for the last six years.
That’s sufficient for me, cos I reckon with the quality of thees recordings, you can hardly make enough to buy any of my art, so it really doesn’t matter what you think in that case…
By the way painting with your ass isn’t that original. We’ve had that here in Norway for years. A guy who fill up his asshole with paint and shit it out over a canvas.
why don’t you put it online?
But if YOUR art is so shit hot as you say (get it?…shit hot he he

“Time travels, steam punk and nuts scientists (nuts as in willing to try anything on one self to prove ones theories) is some of my favorite subjects in fantasy and science fiction literature.”
This is not even the right book. Or, at least, it is not a book I wrote. I don’t write that stuff. Your marked lack of English skills has led you astray. I write my books for my fans. If you aren’t one, why are you listening? Listen to the first episode, decide you don’t like it, and go away. There are 220 others available on podiobooks.com, go there. I don’t solicit non-english speaking readers. Especially ones harebrained enough to attempt utilizing their third-grade english on an open forum to lambaste the wrong book. I can mangle Spanish at about the third grade level, but I am not stupid enough to go to spanishcuisinedotcom and attempt, in broken Spanish, to lecture them on the failings of their chipotle sauce. As far as where you’re from, I could care less. Most of the spam I have to deal with comes from Eastern Europe. Had I known you were from Norway, I still would not care. They make great sardines there.
You went over to another podiobook artists blog and posted the following about someone else’s book:
“This author should seek a job in the American TV series factories. They need crap like this (they obviously never shoot anything else as this kind of boring and highly predictable shit).”
My point is you are an offensive pinhead, but you’re not very good at it. You expend a lot of effort posting derogatory commentary on others work here, and one wonders if you even know which books you are talking about. I think your time is better spent making that stick-figure artwork. Artwork which, if it actually sells, is some kind of portent of the apocalypse.
My work is loud, obnoxious, offensive, aggressive; like me. If you don’t wish to experience an assault on the ears—go find another one to listen to.
June 9th, 2008 at 3:33 pm
Love the book, but one of the above entries was correct, in the earlier episodes you were all over the place regarding volume. Take your engineer, and teach that monkey how to find his ass with both hands, HAR!
.. but seriously it got better in later episodes. Do you have any more Devlin books???
June 9th, 2008 at 5:54 pm
Hell, I’m the engineer. I got a forty-dollar mic, a five-dollar mic-stand I found at a yard sale, and all the spiced rum I can keep chilled in the freezer. You think I’m getting too much echo from the empty bottles? Oh, and yeah, there are three or four more books with Devlin.
June 9th, 2008 at 7:37 pm
Finished!
Great story. If you ever get fancy with your production, this one wants some bed music like I used to hear on Top ‘O the Morning! out of Roanoke, Virginia. Banjos, fiddles, band, and three part harmony.
My most favorite character in Crusade has to be Warren’s mother. I already knew that stuff about religion, it’s still the journalists that have shocked me. I had NO idea!
June 12th, 2008 at 10:07 pm
You Magnificent Bastard! Give Me More!
June 14th, 2008 at 9:01 am
Har! Wigitman! You must have reached chapter 25! Heh! I stole that line from somewhere, but I can’t remember so I’m effectively innocent of wrongdoing. Maybe it was George C. Scott in Patton? Thanks, and glad you are enjoying this. I have redone all 22 chapters and sometime Sunday, with any luck, they will be uploaded to replace the originals.
June 16th, 2008 at 9:13 am
I’m very religious. I think this is extremely funny. Laughing out loud wearing earbuds and getting odd looks from the wife. All worth it. The first podiobook to really make me laugh hard since Nina Kimberly The Merciless.
June 16th, 2008 at 1:53 pm
Love it, but at about episode 16 or 17, the chapters start jumping around, thus causing the story to jump around. I got confused. I really want to listen to the rest, but I’m not sure if this is intentional or not.
June 17th, 2008 at 9:05 am
If you downloaded Sunday evening at the same time I was uploading, you may have downloaded a garbled version. I uploaded 22 all new levelated episodes that evening. I downloaded 15-17 after seeing this message and they are fine. Each episode has two chapters and the chapter title and number is announced at the beginning of each. Glad you are enjoying this, Octopon, and thanks for the message.

Barry! I read the first sentence of your post and stopped, preparing myself for the coming avalanche of indignant invective. Imagine my surprise when I engaged mental armor, proceeded with trepidation to read further, and found you actually enjoyed it. HAR! Ya tricked me. I was sure I was gonna get another written equivalent of a tug through the righteous hot coals of religious retribution. Thanks!
June 17th, 2008 at 6:24 pm
Greg, thanks for the update info. I’ll re-download it, as I cannot pass this up. I just finished Devlin and the Hell Hermit story, and it was great. I was listening to it on my iPod, and starting laughing out loud, really loud, and people looked at me like I was crazy. Your wit and one liners are second to none. I MUST HAVE MORE OF YOUR CONTENT! Question, do you have mushroom cloud hats like the one described in your story for sale. I’d love to mount one on top of my motorcycle helmet as I do 90mph down the freeway.
June 18th, 2008 at 10:22 am
When I read some of the forum comments regarding this book and saw some of the brutally rude replies the author made in response to some critisism, I thought “wow…what an a-hole! I have GOT to listen to this book!” My hunch was right -what a blast! My coworkers thought I was losing what few marbles I had left when I spent the entire shift laughing for no apparent reason. I had to explain to them, “no, it’s not the drugs, it’s an audio book I’m listening to”.
Great book! Great time! I’m going to have find some more books by this guy.
And I don’t know what the heck people are talking about regarding the volume levels. Time to pull out those Q-tips folks…either that or get an mp3 player/headphones that didn’t come out of a cereal box, because I found the volume levels perfectly acceptable.
Keep up the excellent work Greg. I wouldn’t change a thing in this book, and I’d do things exactly the same on your next one, which is hopely going to be soon!
June 18th, 2008 at 3:52 pm
Appreciate the comments, Octopon. I wish I had one of those hats. I thought about making one. I bet you can take a paper coffee cup, rub some KY in it, spray some of that expanding foam in a can stuff into the paper cup and you’d get a great mushroom cloud. Then take wire and stick little arms, legs, plastic cars, republican dolls, FOX news logos, and stuff in the foam, cover it all with that liquid latex they use to make night of the living dead masks, and EUREKA! a mushroom cloud hat. I don’t have time, I’m busy finishing another four books so I can have a total of fourteen, oh and I’m busy typing stuff like this, and I sometimes drink and watch the grass grow, and work for a’holes who pay me but I can’t hit ‘em or they won’t pay me anymore. Anyway, what the heck was I talking about? Oh yeah, thanks!
And thanks to you as well, OldGeezer! Always good to hear I brought a laugh to my beloved fellow man. Har! I have books I’ve written laying around everywhere; I’m just too lazy to record them.
June 20th, 2008 at 12:37 am
Greg, you are my new favorite author. I just finished crusade today, and man, it was fantastic. I wish I had one tenth the wit you do. I could easily see this or your Devlin story made into movies. There are enough of us smart people out there to keep up.
Anyway, keep it coming. I’m chompin’ at the bit for your next podcast novel. Unfortunately, I find myself to be one of those unemployed type people, so my income is very limited, otherwise, I would give you a sizable donation.
June 22nd, 2008 at 5:58 pm
I listened to Devlin first. I found it so entertaining that I had to go see what other atrocities you had perpetrated on us. Crusade was one of the funniest things I’ve heard in a while. I also want you to know that my kids are sick of hearing me talk like Devlin and Warren.
HAR!
June 23rd, 2008 at 9:52 am
Big thanks, keirgrey. I always like to hear from folks who enjoy themselves with my nonsense. The others, the whiners, well, screw them—if I wanted any crap I’d squeeze their lips. Heh! (That’s me, always making new friends…Har!) Oh, and your kids are right; be careful talking like Devlin, I threw a tonsil (shot right out of my ear) while recording the second, ‘improved’ version. The new Devlin re-record is done, I’m editing right now with hopes of uploading soon. The Dunkin book is bogged down. He’s supposed to have a high-pitched voice and it seems I can’t do high-pitched. I may have to hire someone to stand here while I read and kick me in the jewels whenever DUnkin’s lines come up. Long instances of dialog are gonna be tough on me, but I suffer for my art.
June 26th, 2008 at 6:41 pm
Just finished this one and found it pretty damn amusing. I love how your dialogs are so outrageous so as to seem ridiculous, but then when you actually listen to them they are always spot on.
June 29th, 2008 at 8:44 pm
I’ve listened to many of the books from this site and have never heard an author who sounded so much like the character he wrote about. It’s hard to believe someone could be so glib, but if anyone could pass it off, it would be you. So many pearls, so little time.
June 30th, 2008 at 6:09 pm
Hey, Chris! I see yer a glutton fer punishment…listening to both my debacles. Glad you enjoyed the listen and hope ya had a smile or three.
Peter! I don’t know ya, but I’m predisposed to feel kindly to ya for saying something nice about Crusade. This audiogibbering is not too repulsive a task, and if folks are having fun, I’m having fun.
Thanks to everyone who has listened, commented, sent money, bought one of my eight other books, or just refrained from annoying me.
July 23rd, 2008 at 4:47 pm
Great listen! Never knew that commentary on religion could be so compelling and humorous at the same time. 5s all the way!
July 27th, 2008 at 8:19 pm
Hmm…I’m feeling really bad now…
It is obvious that my comments (higher up on the page) is about another recording/author/story/book, and I can,t seam to figure out witch one.
I must have made some horrible mistake,ore this recording have been changed…don’t think so though cos of my blabber about steampunk and mad scientists.
See I just listened to this audio book and had a fantastically great time.
Great audio, great story, great narration and a hilarious funny and entertaining cast of characters.
So just imagine my sensation of terror when I went to have a look at the commentaries to see if anyone had had a great time like me, and found my own stupid jibberish…man oh man…I really feel like shit now.
There is also not much I can offer in ways of explanation towards this obvious case of unprovoked verbal abuse.
All I can think of is that maybe I got confused by the many tabs I usually keep open in my Firefox browser.
That combined with the fact that I am not unfamiliar with the sort of substance abuse described in this book.
Even though I have stayed away from the hard stuff (Coce, Heroin, Alcohol and such) since I got the responsibility for two kids (some years ago), i must admit that I have taken to smoke considerable amounts of “funtobacco” since the kids grew up and moved out to engage in live on their own terms..
I humbly ask for forgiveness and hope you can find it in your heathen heart to forgive a hopeless sinner…

Superb. Mr. Cites bequeaths an endless supply of highly offensive insults/retorts in soliloquy form, delivered by drug-fueled characters that piss on all that is stupid & in need of pissing on. Think Hunter S. Thompson meets Triumph the Wonder Dog (substitute Triumph for any other raspy voiced comic that berates his/her audience)….now forget that thought and listen to the damn audiobook (or poe-dio-book if you prefer). It’s great, you’ll hate it.

Now, let’s address this Per Ove Sleen character. Ya know, I got to give you credit for manning-up and admitting yer incompetence; but yer a communist, and a dickweed. So I have to reiterate, GO LISTEN TO SOMEONE ELSE! Everyone has fans they don’t necessarily want, well as far as I’m concerned, yer one of ‘em.

This is the best book in the history of mankind. Crites is beyond awesome. I actually long for the day when he will rattle off a thesaurus-driven chain of insults at me. Greg, please, insult me in this fashion.
This book is a stunning collection of debauchery, intellect, basic observation of religion and a vocabulary that could lift off the page, walk erect and snort five lines of Strunk & White without missing a step.
September 11th, 2008 at 10:00 pm
Har! Look at this; the Crusade thread has been ‘Infected’! I’d love to hurl an insult your way, but a man of yer stature in the writers community deserves a demoralizing, debilitating, destabilizing diatribe of sufficient vitriol and acidity to at least dent the many layers of protective armor formed in the aftermath of previous unjustified attacks of rudossity. But I’m busy now, writing a comedy-slash-horror thingie tentatively titled ‘Infestered’. It’s about this guy who’s out mowing the lawn and as he’s maneuvering beneath a pear tree, which unknown to everyone, was planted above an underground cache of uranium, a mutant tick falls, burrows its way into his shoulder and starts broadcasting old episodes of the ‘Addams Family’ directly into his frontal lobe. Anyway, glad you enjoyed my nonsense and appreciate the time taken to let know.

Wow! What can I say? I read Scott Sigler’s twitter where he mentioned this book and had to add it to my mp3 player (Not a stupid iPod). There’s no better recommendation than one from your favorite author, and I was NOT disappointed.
I have since recommended this feed to all my friends, and a bunch of idiots I don’t know! I found the writing style to be sort of a drunk Douglas Adams without the accent crossed with the naration of a bleach swilling band member from The Dead Milkmen. The oddest mixes sometimes make the best stories, and hell you even won over that SpamTard from Nerdweigh!
Now I follow you on Twitter an read your blog. I loved the housing market analogy.
I hope to one day be insulted by you in the elegant, thesaurus driven, rum fueled, manor in which I have grown to enjoy listening to.
Oh, my favorite line from the “poe”diobook was when you were describing the cab drivers country of origin. “Pack-yer-shit-and-leave-astan!”

Admittedly I have several more volumes to go before I have read it all, but this one is the best. My favorite character is Warren’s mother, smarter than all the rest combined!

Roses are red

I am very sorry to say so but I’m going to listen to your damned bullshit just as much as I please, and there is nothing you can do about that without hurting everyone else (yourself included) in the process.
As fare as being a fan of yours goes, you couldn’t have mistaken any more even if you tried.
I am simply taken advantage of you being the happy, one balled amateur unable to get paid for your hack work, thus having to resort to giving it away for free on the internet in order to have an audience at all….
I hate TV so I fill my time with audio books and such…also when working. So I am a huge consumer of both free and purchased audio books.
Sometimes I actually use the books as background noise cos I hate TV and radio…and that’s where authors like you come in to the picture…great background noise…or when all the good books have been read and there is NOTHING! else…
If you should happen to be able to write some more, don’t bother notifying me, I just came over a recording of the phone book of all of China….you can say I am good with background noise for a while…quality B.G.N. for a change…
P.S. I also promise to learn how to spell and write proper English as soon as you figure out how to get a real publishing deal…..or learn to speak/write ANY language besides your own for that matter…
Good luck to you poser..
