Matt Dinniman, bestselling author of the wildly popular (and just plain wild) "Dungeon Crawler Carl" series, joins us to chat about his latest book, "A Parade of Horribles." In the books, Coast Guard vet Carl and his ex-girlfriend’s cat, Princess Donut, must try to survive the end of the world — or just get to the next level — in a video game-like, trap-filled fantasy dungeon.
In the eighth installment, chaos and mass panic spread outside the dungeon in the wake of Faction Wars, and Carl and Donut find themselves on the tenth floor, where they’re forced to compete in a suspiciously simple set of tasks. After each race, they pick an upgrade for their vehicle and the track gets more challenging. It all seems a little too normal.
Ignore those strange glitches that are occurring with increasing frequency. Don’t listen to 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.”
The rules of this floor have taken away Carl's agency. So he plans a party of his own — a plan so dangerous he can’t even consult his friends, lest the AI put a stop to it. Because if it goes wrong, it’s not just the end of Carl and Donut. The stakes are higher than they’ve ever been.
