About Dungeon Crawler Carl
Dungeon Crawler Carl is a LitRPG science fantasy series by the American author Matt Dinniman, following Carl and the cat Princess Donut. Dinniman began posting the story on Royal Road in 2019 and self-published the first book on Amazon in 2020; eight books had appeared by A Parade of Horribles in May 2026. Ace Books, a Penguin Random House imprint, took the print rights and reissued the series from August 2024, while the author kept the ebook and audiobook rights. Jeff Hays narrates the Soundbooth Theater audiobooks, and Dinniman plans two more books to complete the series.
