I’m obsessed…Princess Donut is my queen’ Actor, producer and New York Times bestselling author Felicia Day‘I don’t always say nice things about a book just because the writer has compromising pictures of me engaging in some very complicated international crimes, but when I do, I say them about Matt Dinniman’s Dungeon Crawler Carl! Also, this series has no goddamn business burying so much depth and emotion and complexity under its bawdy, gory surface, but it does so anyway.
