ABOUT “DUNGEON CRAWLER CARL”
An alien invasion has wiped out most of humanity and any survivors are forced to fight for their lives on a sadistic intergalactic game show. Sounds bad, right?

Welcome to Dungeon Crawler World: Earth, where the apocalypse will be televised…and Coast Guard vet Carl finds himself stuck with his ex-girlfriend’s award-winning show cat, Princess Donut the Queen Anne Chonk, as they try to survive the end of the world, fighting monsters, aliens, an insane A.I. and even other survivors…all for the sake of good TV. Survival is optional. Entertainment is not.
