As chaos and mass panic spread outside the dungeon in the wake of Faction Wars, Carl and Donut find themselves on the tenth floor, where theyre forced to compete in a surprisingly normal set of tasks.
Well, normal for the dungeon.
Races. Get from point A to point B, and dont come in last. After each race, they pick an upgrade for their vehicle and the track gets more challenging.
It all seems a a little too simple.
Ignore those strange glitches that are occurring with increasing frequency. Dont listen to those whispers about whats happening on the mysterious eleventh floor, something the system AI calls A Parade of Horribles. Nobody, not even the showrunners, knows what that means. Just that the AI has ominously dubbed it a coming-out party for the ages.
Everything is fine, Crawler. I repeat, everything is fine.
Carl hates that its business as usual. The rules of this floor have taken away his agency. That just will not do.
So Carl is planning a party of his own. Its a plan so dangerous, so insane, he cant even consult his friends lest the AI put a stop to it.
Because if it goes wrong, its not just the end of Carl and Donut. No. The stakes are higher than theyve ever been.
Includes part eight of the exclusive bonus story Backstage at the Pineapple Cabaret.

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 Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. It mixes fun, whimsical absurdity, and serious, dark themes with dire consequencesit is so spectacularly good that I cannot recommend it high enough Grimdark Magazine
