"A dangerously addicting tale of chaos and mayhem. I'm thoroughly hooked!"--#1 New York Times bestselling author Callie Hart

"Welcome to your newest obsession...the highly addictive, hilarious series continues to draw in new fans." - USA Today

"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...Once you start, you won't put it down."--Patricia Briggs, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Mercy Thompson series

" Dungeon Crawler Carl is the best start to a series I've read this year. I wish I'd tried it sooner."--Will Wight, author of the Cradle series

"When it came time to pick a race, Dinniman and Dungeon Crawler Carl decided he would continue to appear as a human, and that's what this series has blossomed into, something profoundly and endearingly human."--Slate

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

"To describe the Dungeon Crawler Carl series, and the first book in particular, one must blend the darkest, grittiest science fiction with the humour of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. It mixes fun, whimsical absurdity, and serious, dark themes with dire consequences...it is so spectacularly good that I cannot recommend it highly enough."-- Grimdark Magazine

"Dinniman's Douglas-Adams-but-playing-D&D romp was so much fun that I immediately went out and got the next two books...genuinely joyful."--LitHub.com

The apocalypse will be televised!

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."
