THEY CAN'T CATCH A BREAK, NOW THEY NEED TO CATCH A LETHAL MONSTER.

The sixth explosive installment in Matt Dinniman's best selling LitRPG series where the hunted become the hunters ... while also still being hunted!

"Dungeon Crawler Carl is legit awesome" #1 New York Times bestselling author Brandon Sanderson

***

It is bedlam on the eighth floor.

Coast Guard vet Carl and his ex-girlfriend's cat, Princess Donut, have survived longer and leveled up higher than anyone ever thought they could in the galaxy's most popular reality show.

Now the stakes are the highest they've ever been, the rules are getting dangerously creative.

The crawlers are given a new task: Find and capture six monsters, each of which will be turned into a card.
The stronger, the deadlier, the better.

It's crucial for crawlers to assemble the toughest squad possible. But, like always, there is a catch. There's always a catch.

If Carl and Donut want a winning hand, they'll have to capture the most lethal and terrifying monster of them all: Shi Maria.

She was once married to a now-missing god. Her special attack is known to drive one insane. They call her the Bedlam Bride.

Carl and Donut can try to capture her, but that doesn't mean they can tame her. And if they can't, there'll be worse things at stake than just their sanity.

Praise for Dungeon Crawler Carl

'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
