Dungeon Crawler Carl's New Hardcover Editions Are B2G1 Free At Amazon
Fans of Matt Dinniman's popular LitRPG novel series can soon add two more Dungeon Crawler Carl hardcover editions to their shelves
If you're interested in checking out Dungeon Crawler Carl or are looking to upgrade from ebook or paperback editions to hardcover, now's a great time to do it. Penguin Random House imprint Ace began releasing hardcover editions of the Dungeon Crawler Carl series last fall. The newest hardcover, The Gate of the Feral Gods (Book 4), released in hardcover on March 11 and is included in Amazon's promotion. You can pair Book 4 with the hardcover editions of Dungeon Crawler Carl (Book 1) and Carl's Doomsday Scenario (Book 2) to save an additional $20.30 at checkout--you're getting Book 1 for free.
Three of the four currently available hardcover editions are eligible for Amazon's B2G1 Free Book sale through March 29. Unfortunately, at the time of writing, The Dungeon Anarchist's Cookbook (Book 3) isn't eligible for the promotion. We've marked the B2G1 free-eligible Dungeon Crawler Carl hardcovers in the list below. You'll also find links to preorder the upcoming hardcover editions of Books 5 and 6.

Note: The Inevitable Ruin is the only Dungeon Crawler Carl novel available to purchase in paperback. The paperback editions of the first six novels are out of print, so the new hardcover books are your only option if you want physical editions.
If you're new to the series: Dungeon Carl Crawler is a quintessential example of the LitRPG genre. When bored aliens transform Earth into a giant video-game style dungeon, Coast Guard veteran Carl becomes a participant in a life-or-death tournament. Carl is accompanied by a cat named Princess Donut. Throughout the series, the duo squares off against a wide array of monsters and solves puzzles. In case the name Princess Donut didn't give it away, Dungeon Crawler Carl doesn't take itself too seriously. Despite the high stakes, the series frequently leans into the ridiculousness of the scenario with darkly humorous dialogue and over-the-top violence.
You can start your journey with Carl and Princess Donut by picking up the hardcover edition of Dungeon Crawler Carl (Book 1) for $20.30 (was $30) at Amazon.
The 2025 hardcover releases are following the same release schedule as the first three novels: Ace is publishing one hardcover per month for the next three months. The Gate of the Feral Gods (Book 4) released on March 11 and is discounted to $22.50 (was $30) at Amazon. The Butcher's Masquerade, the fifth book in the series, will be published on April 8. Book 6, The Eye of the Bedlam Bride, is available to preorder for $34 (was $39) ahead of its May 13 release.
If you're wondering why the retail prices are higher for later books in the series, it's likely related to page count. Books 1 and 2 were 464 and 384 pages, respectively, whereas Book 5 is 720 pages and Book 6 is the longest book in the series at 832 pages.

Many fans of Dungeon Crawler Carl listen to the series on audiobook. Superbly narrated by Jeff Hays, all seven audiobook productions are exclusive to Audible. The highly rated audiobook version of The Inevitable Ruin released in February. Subscribers can purchase each novel with a Credit ($15 each), and Audible Premium Plus members can use their free monthly Credit on The Inevitable Ruin or any other Dungeon Crawler Carl book.
It's also worth noting that the full series is available to read for no extra charge for Kindle Unlimited subscribers. Alternatively, you can buy all seven Dungeon Crawler Carl ebooks for $39. The first three books cost $5 each, while the last four are $6 each.
