For some reason I always read Mordecai in Gene Hackman's voice.

I am on Book 2 of Discount Dan. It's like a Temu DCC.

I just finished book 2 on audio and now I have to get an audible subscription to get the rest
Luckily there is a free trial for 3 months
Edit: Not free. $0.99 a month for 3 months

About to finish book 4 and I have 4-6 on audible ready to go after I finish the hard copies.
Book 5 is on the way
I am hooked and will have to pre-order book 8
I was never an audiobook person. Only listened to one and it was Elijah Wood reading the unedited version of Huck Finn. Just me being weird and losing focus and missing 10 minutes, but I am finding I can keep attention with these and often pick up on something I glossed over in my initial read through
Also I saw starting Book 5 or 6, that Jeff Hayes isn't the only voice. Travis Baldree (author of Legends and Lattes, a low-stakes fantasy series) and audiobook voice actor, joins him and even Patrick Warburton joins in book...6

Just received an email that Matt finished writing book 8. He is going to drop chapters slowly with a final release version as an epub. Going to start my relisten of book 7 soon

Yeah just saw a statement from him. Quite a contrast from a few other writers.
“After a full month of 10-15 hour days, with six minutes to spare, I have delivered Dungeon Crawler Carl, book 8, A Parade of Horribles to my editor at Ace Penguin Random House.
*MY* final version stands at 192K words. My first draft ended up at 230K. I suspect the published version will be leaner, especially since I told them 175.
If you've messaged/emailed me in the past two weeks, I will eventually get back to you, but probably not tomorrow.
Work on Dungeon Crawler Carl book 9 will begin immediately.”

Has he said how many books there will be total in the series?

Quickly becoming one of my favorite authors
Extreme contrast to so many fantasy authors especially Grrm, Rothfuss, and Lynch (Lynch is different than the other two, iirc, his issues were more mental than laziness)

According to this interview
Initial plan was 10 books, but it is not set in stone

Just finished Butchers masquerade
Gonna take a break from DCC for a bit
Not that I didn’t like it, I just need to read other things and the 700 page books really are time consuming once I start them

Yeah I’ve seen a couple of places that the original plan was for 10 but I’ve also seen some quotes indicating it may end up at 11. Either way I have confidence in Matt finishing the series.

I just finished book 4. Wtf was that epilogue?
And the Backstage at the Pineapple Cabaret was beyond unhinged. I wish we got those on audiobook too but I enjoy the other add ones they do for that audio

The one with the mouse? I loved that epilogue, my favorite one so far.
I'm a little over halfway through book 5, I really enjoyed it but I'm reading it slower than the others so I need a break in between 5 and 6. Enjoying it very much but I need a break because I'm getting burnt out.

The hamster was the Backstage of the Pineapple Cabaret
The epilogue was with the Null bounty hunter on the surface. I was just surprised. I figured the one found would show up eventually, but not by who
As for burnout, I am forcing myself to read something completely different in between no matter how much I want to move right on. I'm about to read Dracula or something. I was switching to Reacher, but I don't have a copy of book 6 at home. Might go check the library

Hamster not mouse 
Ahh yea the bounty hunter. That whole portion caught me off guard. I was not expecting that. Maybe others saw it coming but I know I didn't.
I started a fantasy stand alone based off a Facebook recommendation. The Land of Laughs by Jonathan Caroll, pretty good so far. I'll read at least one more stand alone and probably a classic before I jump back into book 6.
I for some reason thought that book 8 was going to be the last in DCC, but I guess I'm wrong. That makes me not too worried about knocking the others out.

Just started reading this series. Really enjoying book 1.
I see that the audio books are highly recommended. I spend a lot of time in my truck, so I might just audio book the rest of these.

I may be crazy, but I do both. I much prefer owning and holding a book, but the audiobooks are so entertaining in a different way.
I read first, then I'll listen to the audiobook while I work or something and end up catching a lot I glossed over or missed on the initial read
Same as watching the TV show after reading in my mind, but I have time to read so there is that

The audio series is excellent car ride material. Good, mostly mindless, mostly funny entertainment.

Parade of Horribles is now available through Matt’s Patreon. I’m waiting for the official release so I can get the book audible version together. Be wary of spoilers out there now.
