Join Carl and his ex-girlfriend's cat Princess Donut as they fight fantastical creatures and deadly mobs in the second book in the smash-hit Dungeon Crawler Carl series -now with bonus material exclusive to the print edition

Now on the third floor, Carl and Donut have to fight harder than ever. They've already proven that a Coast Guard vet and once-and-forever feline royalty are an almost unstoppable team. Their ratings are off the chart. The watchers can't get enough. But the dungeon gets more dangerous each day, and now there's a whole new problem to deal with. Quests. They call it the Over City. A sprawling, once-thriving metropolis devastated by a mysterious calamity. But these streets are far from abandoned. An undead circus trawls the ruins. Murdered women rain from the sky. An ancient spell is finally ready to reveal its dark purpose. Can Carl and Donut solve the mystery in time? And can Carl finally find some pants?

Reviews for Carl's Doomsday Scenario

-- 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 * 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 * If there’s a better LitRPG than Dungeon Crawler Carl, I haven’t read it. * Shirtaloon, author of He Who Fights Monsters * 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 * Dungeon Crawler Carl is the best start to a series I’ve read this year. I wish I’d tried it sooner. * Will Wight, author of the Cradle series * 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 Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. It mixes fun, whimsical absurdity, and serious, dark themes with dire consequences…it is so spectacularly good that I cannot recommend it high enough. * Grimdark Magazine *
