Staff Pick of the Week is\u00a0 \u201cDungeon Crawler Carl\u201d by Matt Dinninan. Goodreads rating of 4.43.<\/p>\n

You know what\u2019s worse than breaking up with your girlfriend? Being stuck with her prize-winning show cat. And you know what\u2019s worse than that? An alien invasion, the destruction of all man-made structures on Earth, and the systematic exploitation of all the survivors for a sadistic intergalactic game show. That\u2019s what.<\/em><\/p>\n

Join Coast Guard vet Carl and his ex-girlfriend\u2019s cat, Princess Donut, as they try to survive the end of the world\u2014or just get to the next level\u2014in a video game\u2013like, trap-filled fantasy dungeon. A dungeon that\u2019s actually the set of a reality television show with countless viewers across the galaxy. Exploding goblins. Magical potions. Deadly, drug-dealing llamas. This ain\u2019t your ordinary game show.<\/em><\/p>\n

Welcome, Crawler. Welcome to the Dungeon. Survival is optional. Keeping the viewers entertained is not.<\/em><\/p>\n
