Dungeon Crawler Carl
by Matt Dinniman
When Earth becomes the set for an intergalactic reality TV death game, Carl finds himself reluctantly thrown into a brutal dungeon crawl alongside his ex-girlfriend’s pampered cat, Princess Donut. This book is a relentless, laugh-out-loud sprint through chaos, where every level brings new, often absurd, dangers and a constant barrage of snarky commentary from the dungeon itself. It’s darkly funny, surprisingly poignant, and incredibly fast-paced, blending satirical jabs at reality TV with genuine stakes for its ever-suffering, reluctant hero. You'll be gasping, groaning, and giggling as Carl and Donut navigate exploding goblins, bizarre alien challenges, and the constant threat of being cancelled – literally. If you love your humor pitch-black, your action non-stop, and your heroes utterly fed up with the world (or lack thereof), prepare for the most chaotic game show of all time.
