Dungeon Crawler Carl by Matt Dinniman is the first book in the wildly popular Dungeon Crawler Carl series, blending LitRPG, science fiction, fantasy, dark humor, and nonstop adventure. This print edition also includes bonus material exclusive to the book.
Carl’s life takes a disastrous turn when an alien invasion destroys human civilization and turns the surviving population into contestants in a brutal intergalactic game show. Alongside his ex-girlfriend’s prize-winning cat, Princess Donut, Carl must enter a dangerous, video game–like dungeon filled with traps, monsters, magical items, and increasingly bizarre challenges.
The dungeon is more than just a fight for survival. It is a massive reality television set watched by audiences across the galaxy, meaning Carl and Princess Donut must not only stay alive but also keep the viewers entertained. Their journey introduces them to exploding goblins, magical potions, deadly creatures, and unusual characters, including drug-dealing llamas.
Fast-paced, irreverent, and packed with action, Dungeon Crawler Carl offers a unique combination of dungeon-crawling adventure and absurd comedy. It is an entertaining choice for readers who enjoy LitRPG, progression fantasy, science fiction, and unconventional survival stories.
This edition includes part one of the exclusive bonus story “Backstage at the Pineapple Cabaret.”
