There’s a new Dungeon Crawler Carl book out this week, which means there’s also a new audiobook for the series as well. To promote the new book, A Parade of Horribles, author Matt Dinniman and narrator Jeff Hays narrator got together to officially rank the character voices for the series. You can watch the full video on Audible’s YouTube page, where Hays performs the voices as they discuss rankings.
During this video, Dinniman took a moment to talk a bit about Quasar and how he’s his overall “favorite character in the series.” For those not familiar with all of the many characters, Quasar is the fast-talking alien lawyer that gets appointed to Carl in the fifth book in the series, The Butcher’s Masquerade.
“So my goal in life after I’m done with the Carl series is to one day write some sort of legal drama; something that involves aliens,” explains Dinniman. “When I added him to the story I told Jeff, ‘Do, like, the quintessential Better Call Saul, but with like maybe a New York-sort of accent’ and he nailed it.”
That seems like a pretty clear sign about what he’s thinking for his next book after he wraps up Dungeon Crawler Carl, but he clearly hasn’t fully fleshed out that idea. We also don’t know just how big DCC is going to be just yet, as there’s still the upcoming TV adaptation coming to Peacock on the horizon. Dinniman has stated that he plans on wrapping up the series at 10 books total, but if the TV show ends up being really popular it could extend his involvement even further.
