Dungeon Crawler Carl
Matt Dinniman, 2020
Earth is repurposed as a reality-TV dungeon crawl, and the only contestant with a cat can tell the apocalypse is being narrated to him in the language of a mineral rights form.
Matt Dinniman
Dinniman serialized Carl's first levels online in 2020 before self-publishing; the audiobook, voiced by Jeff Hays with full-cast effects, is largely what made the series a word-of-mouth hit.
Feels like freedom, wonder and power.
The difference between a building being destroyed and a building being taken away.
The building smashed down to the ground. I watched it happen. The seven-story apartment building was there one moment, and then it was gone. But it hadn’t disappeared. I was looking right at Mrs. Parsons when it went down. It was like the building was a massive tin can that had been crushed by a giant cosmic boot. I saw it, and I heard it. Wind rushed at me, and it was instantly dark outside. The streetlamp just to my left was gone. The buildings all around me were gone. The cars on the street were gone, too. Books by Matt Dinniman
