NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - Carl and Princess Donut journey into insanity in the wildly entertaining sixth book in the Dungeon Crawler Carl series--now with bonus material exclusive to this print edition!
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, but after the shocking conclusion of the seventh level, it's now anyone's game.
A pantheon of forgotten gods. An old grudge between a talk show host, an heiress, and the man they shattered along the way. A rapidly deteriorating AI system. An inconvenient tiara upon the head of a friend.
It is bedlam on the eighth floor.
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. At the end of the floor, the bad guys will also have decks, made of some of the most powerful cards available. So 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.
But even if Carl and Donut can capture her, they know all too well that just because someone has been captured, it doesn't mean they have been tamed.
Welcome, Crawlers. Welcome to the eighth floor of the dungeon.

It’s all over the place with the lore. I need an entire room filled with papers in order to inderstand the continuity!!
This book series has been a breath of fresh air. The first couple books were just straight up goofy fun, then it started to weave some character arcs and team dynamics into it. Now, there are some heavy themes about humanity, relationships, trauma, etc. I SOBBED during and after Carl fought the boss at the trailer. The audacity of this book for being so good. This is one of the best book series I've read. The writing is top notch, the humor is relevant and topical, and the themes are hard hitting. If Princess Donut isn't the epitome of a character arc, I don't know what is. I even love Samantha. If you don't like this book, I will kill your mother. (This is obviously a joke, and a line from the book!)
This series is just amazing. The pacing of each book keeps you on your toes. You think you know what's coming but you're probably wrong, and it's even better than you imagined.
This was a spectacular read! The author has created a setting and scenarios that really allow for ANYTHING to happen! I love it
Great book. I love the characters and feel genuine worry and concern for their well-being — that is how well this series is written.
