THE TRAINING LEVELS HAVE CONCLUDED. THE GAMES CAN NOW BEGIN.

The second exciting adventure in Matt Dinniman’s popular LitRPG series - funnier, darker, and more dangerously addictive than ever.

‘[A] hilariously cosmic adventure series…often laugh-out-loud funny…Level up your dungeon skills alongside Carl and Princess Donut’ The Wall Street Journal

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

Now on the third floor of the dungeon, Carl and Princess Donut must fight harder than ever. They’ve already shown that a Coast Guard veteran and once-and-forever feline royalty are an almost unstoppable team. Their rankings are off the charts, and the watchers can’t get enough.

But the dungeon gets more dangerous each day, and now there’s a whole new challenge… Side quests. They call this level the Over City. A vast, once-thriving metropolis destroyed by a mysterious disaster. But these streets are far from deserted.

An undead circus roams the ruins. Murdered women fall from the sky. And an ancient spell is finally ready to reveal its dark purpose. Can Carl and Donut survive this level in time? And can Carl finally find some pants?

‘This series hides so much depth, emotion, and complexity beneath its gritty, gory surface, yet it still manages to shine through. What a wild and unexpected delight’ New York Times bestselling author Scott Lynch

‘This is the book for anyone who ever wondered what it’s like to be a role-player in a game with the best game master ever… or maybe anyone who has gone outside at night—in their underwear—looking for their cat and asking, ‘What’s the worst that could happen?’… Once you start, you won’t be able to put it down' Patricia Briggs, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Mercy Thompson series

‘One of the funniest, craziest, most inventive books I’ve read in a while’ Book Riot

‘To describe the Dungeon Crawler Carl series, especially the first book, you need to blend the darkest, grittiest science fiction with the humor of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. It combines funny, whimsical absurdity with serious, dark themes and dire consequences… it’s so incredibly good that I recommend it highly’ Grimdark Magazine

‘Dinniman’s Douglas Adams-inspired D&D adventure was so much fun that I immediately picked up the next two books… genuinely joyful’ LitHub.com
