Well, normal for the dungeon.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRaces. Get from point A to point B, and don’t come in last. After each race, they pick an upgrade for their vehicle and the track gets more challenging. It all seems a little too normal, a little too simple.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIgnore those strange glitches that are occurring with increasing frequency. Don’t listen to those whispers about what’s happening on the mysterious eleventh floor, something the system AI calls A 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.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEverything is fine, Crawler. I repeat, everything is fine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCarl hates that it’s business as usual. The rules of this floor have taken away his agency.

Because if it goes wrong, it’s not just the end of Carl and Donut. No. The stakes are higher than they’ve ever been.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor: Matt Dinniman\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003eModern \u0026amp; contemporary fiction (post c 1945), Science fiction, Fiction: special features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003ch5\u003ePublished on 14 May 2026 by Penguin Books Ltd.\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHardback\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Matt Dinniman","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57320560755066,"sku":"9780241836880","price":22.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0373\/4125\/files\/9780241836880.jpg?v=1790657610","url":"https:\/\/belfastbooks.co.uk\/products\/a-parade-of-horribles-9780241836880","provider":"Belfast Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
