Thanks to Amazon.de!
Listened to it last night. Fun little story. Wasn't crazy about the narrator.
Still, as I found out last night; best to eat fireworks before they are lit than after!
All that's left of what we were is what we have become.
Less than a minute in, and frankly I find his voice annoying for trying to understand the story and what is happening... If someone, somehow found a transcript online...

Calais man killed after igniting firework on his head
By Nick Sambides Jr., BDN Staff
CALAIS, Maine — A local man was killed instantly Saturday when he set off a fireworks mortar tube on his head, despite efforts his friends made to stop him, state police said Sunday.
Devon Staples, 22, of Calais was in a friend’s backyard on South Street with a group of others when the incident occurred at approximately 10 p.m. The explosion caused a fatal head injury, and Staples died instantly, said Stephen McCausland, spokesman for the Maine Department of Public Safety.
Staples had been drinking with his friends when the incident occurred, McCausland said.
“When he suggested he was going to do this, his friends gathered around him and they thought they had convinced him not to do it,” McCausland said Sunday.
But before they could react, Staples set off the explosive. McCausland described the firework as being within a reloadable mortar tube available in consumer fireworks stores around the state.
The fatality was the first reported since fireworks became legal in Maine in March 2012. Fireworks sales in the state through May 2015 totaled $20.3 million, officials have said.
The incident was among several Fourth of July fireworks mishaps reported. Other incidents occurred in Friendship, Jefferson, Lebanon and Woodstock and involved burns and eye injuries, McCausland said.

It gets better as it goes on. The 'accent' was way over the top though. Way over the top.
It's his normal humor accent.

Yikes! I'll wait for The Bazaar of Bad Dreams.

I listened to the free stream but yeah the reading wasn't the best. It does give the story color. But I hate audiobooks anyway, my mind always trails off, so I'll be reading the story as intended, in hardcover.
I hate actual reading. Audio books have spoiled me on written words.
I picked up my signed copy today (signed by Tim Sample, that is).
I can understand what people are saying about his accent, and there are parts of Maine where the locals do still sound alot like that, but its more of a case of "thats what the rest of the world THINKS we sound like.". I can sound wicked Down East if i want to, but it isn't my normal accent.
Not every Californian sounds like Jeff Spicoli, but when you hear the character talk, you think California Surfer Dude.
Tim Sample has a very normal speaking voice, with a "normal" Maine accent, but he puts on the one you hear on the CD for his comedy routines. I don't know if there are audio files out there but Tims mentor, a storyteller named Marshall Dodge was just the same.
It does take a wee bit of getting used to, but really no more than any other sterotyped accent. Hell, i had been stationed in Texas for over a year before I had a clue what half the people were saying!
"Thanks, but no, it isn't a cowboy hat. It's a fedora. And yes, Indianna Jones is still socially relevant."
i actually liked the old timer Maine accent that Tim Sample read in. Matches the setting well i thought.
