NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - The apocalypse will be televised! Welcome to the first book in the wildly popular and addictive Dungeon Crawler Carl series—now with bonus material exclusive to this print edition. When Earth becomes the newest reality show for alien entertainment, Carl and his ex-girlfriend's cat Princess Donut must navigate deadly dungeon levels to survive. This genre-bending mix of LitRPG, science fiction, and dark comedy has captivated readers with its inventive premise and unexpected heart.

Why We Picked It: Because Dinniman takes a ridiculous premise—a man and his cat fighting through a deadly alien game show—and transforms it into something genuinely compelling. It's funny, action-packed, and surprisingly emotional, proving that genre fiction can be both entertaining and meaningful.
