*Virtual Author* Apocalyptic Mayhem, Lava-Spitting Llamas, and One Very Sassy Cat: Surviving the Universe's Most Twisted RPG with Matt Dinniman

Hold onto your heart-patterned boxers! Matt Dinniman,New York Timesbestselling author of the wildly popular (and just plain wild) Dungeon Crawler Carlseries, joins us to chat about his latest book,A Parade of Horribles. As chaos and mass panic spread outside the dungeon in the wake of Faction Wars, Carl and Donut find themselves on the tenth floor, where theyre forced to compete in a surprisingly normal set of tasks. Well, normal for the dungeon. Races. Get from point A to point B, and dont come in last. After each race, they pick an upgrade for their vehicle and the track gets more challenging. It all seems a littletoonormal, a littletoosimple. Ignore those strange glitches that are occurring with increasing frequency. Dont listen to those whispers about whats happening on the mysterious eleventh floor, something the system AI callsA Parade of Horribles. Nobody, not even the showrunners, knows what that means. Just that the AI has ominously dubbed it a coming-out party for the ages. Everything is fine, Crawler. I repeat, everything is fine. Carl hates that its business as usual. The rules of this floor have taken away his agency. That just will not do. So Carl is planning a party of his own. Its a plan so dangerous, so insane, he cant even consult his friends lest the AI put a stop to it. Because if it goes wrong, its not just the end of Carl and Donut. No. The stakes are higher than theyve ever been. Register now for a fun-filled discussion you wont want to miss! Register here: libraryc.org/coatesvillelibrary/161660 This event will be recorded.
