Hi everyone! Thanks again for your support! I just returned from Lucca Comics and Games, and it was a great time. My time in Italy had no bearing whatsoever on the following chapters. My last event of the year is coming up soon. DragonSteel Nexus in SLC, where I'll be hanging with Brandon Sanderson and Pierce Brown and many other awesome authors. Pierce has challenged me to Street Fighter II, a...
2025-11-08 00:59:19 +0000 UTC View PostHey all! I'm about to head to Lucca, Italy for a few days to hang out with the awesome Italian publisher of DCC, but I thought I'd drop a few more chapters. We are chuggin'.
Here's a post I just made on Reddit:
So a bit of an update on my last enthusiastic post about the release dates of book 8. I had said simultaneous, which caused a minor case of "Yo, Matt, STFU, we didn't con...
Rend giggled as he rose from the dead.
Mordecai had fled back to the crafting room while we gathered around the deceased, idiot Tummy Acher. Mongo stood over him, waving his wings, crying drunkenly in concern.
“Carl, your pet dying has upset Mongo! It’s okay, Mongo. Rend is just taking a time out because he didn’t do as we say.”
Hello, everyone!

Dungeon Crawler Carl book 8 is officially going to be titled A Parade of Horribles: Dungeon Crawler Carl Book 8. It is slated for release on Tuesday, May 12, 2026. That release date is very tentative.

I will be at NYCC this coming weekend! All the pre-reserve...
Hey all! The Crocodile graphic novel backerkit campaign kicks off officially in about an hour, and I figured I'd give you guys at the top tier early access. This is a live link.
The only super duper extreme limited tier is the Matt box, which includes a tuckerization. AKA you die in a future DCC book. There is only one of these available. The upcoming kickstarter for books 2 and 3 will...
Hi all! I hope to see you tomorrow night in LA or this friday in Tucson! Also, we had some UK dates pop up, but I fear those are selling out fast. We STILL have tickets for LA tomorrow night, so please come if you haven't signed up already!

Hope to see you guys at WorldCon this weekend!
“What does this button do?” Bucket Boy the crocodilian asked nervously as he sat behind the steering wheel. We’d just both come from the saferoom, and the moment he sat in the driver seat, he started touching things. He reached to press the red, big button...
2025-08-12 04:15:35 +0000 UTC View PostHey folks. Thanks to everyone who came out to see me this past weekend at SDCC. Next up is WorldCon in Seattle where I'll have a packed schedule. Stay tuned for details with a trio of events surrounding the release of This Inevitable Ruin hardcover, namely in Seattle, Los Angeles, and Tucson. And of course we have DragonCon, NYCC, and DragonSteel coming up as well.

Hello everyone! The Webtoon comes out today. I don't have a direct link, and it drops at 5 PM Pacific. I am currently in Denver for Litrpg Con and will be at SDCC next weekend. Please let me know if you're there to say hello!

Chapter 9
Donut fell hard to the floor with a yelp as we all jumped back. She hunched, like she was going to leap to my shoulder but then caught herself. She stopped on the floor and held up her right front claw in amazement. The cleaner bot let out a scream at the destruction of the kitchen table. I hadn’t realized we could even hurt the furniture i...

The Trauco Triplets have been eliminated due to the expiration of their mount. Eight teams remain in the current heat.

Hey, first off I wanted to apologize for not having the first few chapters ready yet. I know it's been a minute. I had a due date of January 15th with Penguin Random House for the standalone novel, Operation: Bounce House, and I'm still fiddling with the climax of that book. I have been writing my ass off, but in typical Matt fashion, I made the book a lot less linear than it s...
2025-01-30 23:38:49 +0000 UTC View PostApologies ahead of time. We don't yet get into book 8 just yet. I'm working on it, but it's not quite ready. I want to start this one with a bit of a bang which requires going straight to action before slowing down like we usually do, and I gotta frame it correctly. In the meantime, here's the prologue.
Also, the title "Carl's Book of Boom" is just the working title for now. We'll see. ...
There are no spoilers in this post.
Get it while you can. This post includes an epub and a pdf ahead of the November 11 release. Please don't share this. And if you do download it, please consider leaving an honest review on release day on Amazon as that will be very helpful to the DCC cause.

We have a lot of free members on here, so I thought I’d make this one public to all. The book 5 recap in book 6 was written by Donut who wasn’t privy to some info, and there was a bit of unreliable narration in there. With that in mind, who should write the recap of book 6?
I will go with the top choice. Multiple choices allowed. The choice may have major implications in the future.<...

Retcon wise, not much to report. There was an earlier conversation with Ferdinand that now needs to be changed. I'm going to seed a significant amount of conversation throughout the book about two different things. One is the rules about how Celestial Attendants and NPCs in general are protected from...
Just a few light chapters before the real climax of the book.
Oh, I forgot. A minor retcon. As several of you pointed out, I can't name the spell Heel because of audio. It is now called Bijanbi
