Dungeon Crawler Carl

The apocalypse will be televised! Welcome to the first book in the wildly popular and addictive Dungeon Crawler Carl series by Matt Dinniman--now with bonus material exclusive to this print edition.

You know what's worse than breaking up with your girlfriend? Being stuck with her prize-winning show cat. And you know what's worse than that? An alien invasion, the destruction of all man-made structures on Earth, and the systematic exploitation of all the survivors for a sadistic intergalactic game show. That's what.

Join Coast Guard vet Carl and his ex-girlfriend's cat, Princess Donut, as they try to survive the end of the world--or just get to the next level--in a video game-like, trap-filled fantasy dungeon. A dungeon that's actually the set of a reality television show with countless viewers across the galaxy. Exploding goblins. Magical potions. Deadly, drug-dealing llamas. This ain't your ordinary game show.

Welcome, Crawler. Welcome to the Dungeon. Survival is optional. Keeping the viewers entertained is not.


Includes part one of the exclusive bonus story "Backstage at the Pineapple Cabaret."

This was a reread for me but I really enjoyed it! I forgot that Donut is a tortie so made me give my baby extra cuddles thinking of her sass! I also had forgotten how gross some things were lol but I love this genre and recommend this book to people all the time!

This series is - hands down - the best thing I've ever read. Matt does an amazing job bringing the world to life. If you're looking for something apocalyptic, gritty, obscene, and hilarious; this is the book for you. I highly recommend the audio book for your first go-around as Jeff Hayes does a phenomenal work with this.
