The Dungeon Anarchist's Cookbook (Dungeon Crawler Carl)
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Welcome to the Iron Tangle! Carl and his ex-girlfriend’s cat, Princess Donut, have to team up with other contestants not just to survive, but to solve a deadly puzzle in this third, mind-twisting novel in the Dungeon Crawler Carl series—now with bonus material exclusive to this print edition.
Earth has been transformed into the set of the galaxy’s most watched game show: Dungeon Crawler World, a nightmarish, multilevel, video game–like dungeon filled with traps, monsters, and mind-bending puzzles. Carl and Donut have survived so far, but this fourth level is unlike anything they could imagine. The Iron Tangle: an impossibly complicated subway system tied together into a knot of trains of all kinds, from classic steam engines to sleek modern cars. Up is down. Down is up. Close is far. The cars are filled with monsters, the railway stations aren’t always what they seem, and the exit is perpetually just a few stops away.
The top ten list is populated, and Carl and Donut have made it. But that popularity comes with a price. They each now have a bounty on their head. They must work with other crawlers to solve the puzzle of the floor, but how can they do that when they don’t know who to trust? The secret to unraveling it all may be hidden in the pages of a seemingly useless book.
Welcome, Crawlers. Welcome to the fourth floor of the dungeon.
Includes part three of the exclusive bonus story “Backstage at the Pineapple Cabaret.”

Even better than the first two somehow. I wish I could inject this series into my brain, force myself to forget it, inject it again, and create a cycle in which I can experience it for the first time over and over again, infinitely. Never been more addicted to some books in my life what the hell is going on
This one was a little lacking in some spots, but really good in others. I liked the setting of this dungeon and really enjoyed the addition of Kaitia. Donut is great as always and Carl is crazy in all the right ways! The way this story is playing out is really interesting and I am looking forward to the rest of the series.
Another great book! I am a visual person and had a little bit of a hard time following the layout of the train system, the lines and how some of the processes were described, but still an amazing read!! I can’t believe Carl survived that end battle and am excited for him to open whatever he earned from the fight!!
