About this listen

Attention. Attention. The gates are down. The hunters are loose.

Run, run, run.

A lush jungle teeming with danger. Savage dinosaurs seeking blood. A fallen princess intent on vengeance. A mysterious, end-of-floor celebration for the top crawlers, dubbed “The Butcher’s Masquerade”.

The sixth floor. The Hunting Grounds.

As the remaining crawlers battle for their lives, a new, terrible threat looms. Outside, tourists are finally allowed to enter the game, and they are here and ready to hunt. Among them is Vrah, a famed and veteran hunter, intent on collecting the biggest trophy of her career.

But their prey is far from harmless, and this season they are fighting back.

Dungeon Crawler Carl and Princess Donut return in book five of the acclaimed LitRPG series.

Best audiobook in the series

It's a emotional rollercoaster that will slam you hard right in the feels. And you'll recover, you will. But then it'll sneak up on you and hit you again. And again. And again. And then, just when you're prepared for more, it'll hit you with the best rendition of Wonderwall that you've ever heard.

And I loved every minute of it. I loved it so damn much.

New Achievement! M.D. has created literary crack!

Matt Dinniman. You wiley, crafty, son of a b*tch, you. I can't believe you did it. Every time you write something that can't be topped, you go level it up, and top it again!

This has been the best Dungeon Crawler Carl book yet, and for those of you who haven't read any DCC - this being the best is truly saying something. Carl's and Donut's saga through the dungeon has captured the hearts and minds of readers; catapulting them into a realm of fantasy beyond the norm. This Lit RPG will have you wetting your pants from laughter while hungrily consuming each chapter, like Michael Jackson eating popcorn at the movies. It is literary crack!

Jeff Hayes also adds a phenomenal element to the story with his incredible narration. Jeff does more than read you an epic story. He is no NPC reader. Jeff is the kind of narrator who brings the character to life, making them leap out of the page in a fully immersive experience. His acting gives fantastic writing an equally impressive voice.

Well done to both the author and narrator. I cannot wait to see what happens to Carl and Donut next!

Simply the best LitRPG series out there

BAR NONE! I have read more than my fair share of fantasy/GameLit/LitRPG and have rage quit or simply soldiered my way through awful writing, idiot MC's and pointless sheets of stats.

Matt Dinaman has managed to eclipse virtually every other author I've read in this genre with an incredible ability to keep this massive world/system and the many characters moving forward and cohesive despite the odds stacked against him, Donut and every other extended character in this dungeon.

Simply amazing. I really love these characters and the world they are struggling to beat the system in. Matt's sense of humor, masterful writing and ability to successfully juggle all these moving parts is nothing short of perfection.

Amazing!

I'm in love with all of the Dungeon Crawler Carl books. I'm always very sad when a book ends and the wait begins, but it's totally worth it. Thank you for another fantastic addition to the story!
