Synopsis

One man. One cat. One alien invasion. Infinite chaos.
Dive into the first explosive Dungeon Crawler Carl adventure - a wild mix of sci-fi, fantasy, and twisted survival comedy.

'If there's a better LitRPG than Dungeon Crawler Carl, I haven't read it' Shirtaloon, author of He Who Fights Monsters

--
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.

And now Coast Guard veteranarian Carl and his ex-girlfriend's cat, Princess Donut, must 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 TV show with countless viewers across the galaxy. So not only do they have to stay alive, but they also need to earn ratings based on their performance.

Exploding goblins. Magical potions. Deadly, drug-dealing llamas. This ain't your ordinary game show.

Keeping viewers entertained is essential. Survival, however, is not.

'Fresh. Creative. Hilarious. I'm obsessed...Princess Donut is my queen' Actor, producer and New York Times bestselling author Felicia Day

'I don't always say nice things about a book just because the writer has compromising pictures of me engaging in some very complicated international crimes, but when I do, I say them about Matt Dinniman's Dungeon Crawler Carl! Also, this series has no goddamn business burying so much depth and emotion and complexity under its bawdy, gory surface, but it does so anyway. What a wild-ass and unexpected delight' New York Times bestselling author Scott Lynch

'[A] comically cosmic adventure series...often laugh-out-loud funny...Grind your way to dungeon mastery alongside Carl and Princess Donut' The Wall Street Journal

'This is the book for anyone who ever wondered what it would be like to be a role player in a game with the best game master ever. Also for anyone who wants to read a good book. Or maybe anyone who has been outside at night?in their underwear?looking for their cat and wondering 'What's the worst thing that could happen?' Once you start, you won't put it down' Patricia Briggs, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Mercy Thompson series

'One of the most bananapants, funny, inventive books I have read in a while' Book Riot

'Dungeon Crawler Carl is just one big smile all the way through. Put on your best pair of boxer shorts and sit back for a truly fun and enjoyable read' New York Times bestselling author Kevin J. Anderson

'Dungeon Crawler Carl is a dangerously addicting tale of chaos and mayhem. I'm thoroughly hooked! - #1 New York Times bestselling author Callie Hart
