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

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.

5/5 stars — “The best entry yet!”
While Matt Dinniman has created an amazing, smart, funny and horrifically wonderful IP in Dungeon Crawler Carl, I can’t stress enough Jeff Hays’/Soundbooth Theater’s role in this masterpiece. I have listened to many an audio book, and I have yet to find another narrator that provides the same level and quality of performance that Soundbooth Theater provides….and its by a longshot. If you have well whisky and top shelf, Soundbooth Theater is Pappy Van Winkle (another tier entirely), but there’s enough for everyone! I truly, honestly believe that Jeff has an equal hand in evoking the various emotions I’ve felt while I listen and, without his participation, it would be a lesser production. Thank you Jeff for what you do….truly. I follow the studio’s releases now independently of any author.That being said, Matt, PLEAAAAAASE KEEP TAKING MY MONEY. Basically as much as you can make merch for. I want this series in physical form, I want a donut stuffed animal, I want a dungeon crawler carl lunchbox dammit! This is, by far, one of the best series, and books I’ve read this decade, I think because of the honesty and no-bs way that he writes everyone. I feel like I’m being supremely entertained without smoke being blown up my….anyway, any amazing feeling you can conjure in your mind will probably be tickled by this book and you should buy it….but first buy the other 4 if you haven’t already.
– A lifelong DCC fan
– Edit – Wrote the review before finishing the book…..its even better than you expect. ❤️
