Dungeon Crawler Carl A Parade of Horribles by Matt Dinniman HB

Carl and Donut return for book eight of the wildly popular Dungeon Crawler Carl series—and this time, everything is falling apart.

Outside the dungeon, Faction Wars rage and chaos spreads. Inside, on the tenth floor, Carl faces something unprecedented: a race competition. Compete, upgrade your vehicle, watch the track grow deadlier. Simple. Too simple. Strange glitches multiply. Whispers speak of floor eleven—something the system AI calls A Parade of Horribles. A coming-out party for the ages. Nobody knows what it means.

Carl despises the loss of control. The rules of this floor have stripped away his agency, and that will not stand. So he plots something impossibly dangerous, so insane he can't even tell his friends. Because if it fails, the cost isn't just his life or Donut's. The stakes have never been higher.

This hardcover edition includes exclusive bonus material and part eight of the bonus story "Backstage at the Pineapple Cabaret."
