About This Product

A pantheon of forgotten gods. An old grudge between a talk show host, an heiress, and the man they shattered along the way. A rapidly deteriorating AI system. An inconvenient tiara upon the head of a friend.It is bedlam on the eighth floor.As management reels from the unexpected conclusion of the seventh level, the surviving crawlers stumble onto the eighth and find themselves scattered. It’s a map based on Earth’s final days before the collapse, where ethereal, intangible ghosts of humanity go about their lives, oblivious of the impending doom. Living amongst these ghosts are monsters based in Earth lore. “Legendary” creatures tied to the geographical location they inhabit.Each team of crawlers is given a task: find and capture six of these beasts. The captured monsters will be turned into cards. Cards that can be summoned into battle again and again. The stronger and deadlier the better.At the end of the floor, the bad guys will also have decks, and they will have some of the most powerful cards available. So it’s crucial to assemble the toughest squad possible.But like always, there is a catch. There’s always a catch.As Carl and Donut know all too well, just because someone is captured, it doesn’t mean they have been tamed.Her name is Shi Maria. She’s easily the most powerful monster in their area. If they want to survive, they must capture her. But she is no ordinary beast. She’s intelligent. She was once married to a god, a god who is now missing. Her special attack is known to drive one insane. They call her the Bedlam Bride.“Beware, beware. Beware the eye of the Bedlam Bride.”

Customer Reviews Summary

4.5/5 starsThe Eye of the Bedlam Bride is the 6th book in the LitRPG series Dungeon Crawler Carl. It’s the 8th floor and it’s a twisted card-based game. Carl and Princess Donut must capture six monsters into card that they will use to fight others to get to the next level. (It’s like the Pokemon Trading Card Game if you had to capture the Pokemon yourself first.) But some monsters have their own agenda and the Bedlam Bride herself Shi Maria has her eyes on Carl.This was another fantastic entry to the series. I thought the card-based system this level would be a let down after the bombastic previous levels. I think I was right at points, but what it delivered instead was just so much emotions. With a less involved game mechanism this time around, it allowed for more storytelling and the few plotlines—both the over-arching ones and ones isolated here—really shined in its depth and feels. I teared up several times. Don’t get me wrong though. The book is ridiculously over-the-top and jam-packed with action and its characteristic humor. There’s just way more heart as well.The Eye of the Bedlam Bride continues the streak of each subsequent Dungeon Crawler Book being better than the last.
