   Carl's Doomsday Scenario

   Dungeon Crawler Carl • Book 2

   by Matt Dinniman

   Narrated by Jeff Hays

   Both audiobooks deliver immersive horror experiences through unreliable narration and psychological dread, with narrators who excel at building tension through subtle vocal shifts. The similarly compact runtimes (13 and 11 hours) make for equally gripping single-sitting listens that prioritize atmosphere and character unraveling over jump scares.

   ★ 4.78 ABR Score (217.5K ratings)

   11h 28m listening time • Released 2021

   Jeff Hays transforms this LitRPG sequel into something genuinely unhinged—his voice work sells the escalating absurdity and real stakes so completely that you'll forget you're listening to a story about a pantless guy surviving a digital hellscape.
