It's off to the races for Carl and Donut in the eighth book in the New York Times bestselling Dungeon Crawler Carl series.

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 they're forced to compete in a surprisingly normal set of tasks. Races. Get from point A to point B, and don't come in last. It all seems a a little too simple.

Ignore those whispers about what's 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.\""

So Carl is planning a party of his own. But if it goes wrong, it's not just the end of Carl and Donut. No. The stakes are higher than they've ever been.

Reviews for A Parade of Horribles

-- 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 *
