Book Description
In a secret government lab somewhere in Nevada, a young scientist cowers in darkness–waiting, listening, and calculating his chances of surviving the unspeakable carnage that has left him trapped and alone. Or almost alone. Soon after, a covert military operation “cleanses” all traces of a top-secret project gone horrifically wrong. Three years later, it begins again–when the quiet of a warm autumn night in a sleepy California town is shattered by a streak of light across the sky, the thunder of impact, and the unleashing of something insidious. Spreading, multiplying, and transforming everything in its path, this diabolical intelligence will not be denied until the townsfolk–and eventually, all living things–are conquered. Until they are all crawling. . . .

Book Description
The apocalypse will be televised! Welcome to the first book in the wildly popular and addictive Dungeon Crawler Carl series by Matt Dinniman—now with bonus material exclusive to this print edition. You know what’s worse than breaking up with your girlfriend? Being stuck with her prize-winning show cat. And you know what’s worse than that? An alien invasion, the destruction of all man-made structures on Earth, and the systematic exploitation of all the survivors for a sadistic intergalactic game show. That’s what. Join Coast Guard vet Carl and his ex-girlfriend’s cat, Princess Donut, as they try to survive the end of the world—or just get to the next level—in a video game–like, trap-filled fantasy dungeon. A dungeon that’s actually the set of a reality television show with countless viewers across the galaxy. Exploding goblins. Magical potions. Deadly, drug-dealing llamas. This ain’t your ordinary game show. Welcome, Crawler. Welcome to the Dungeon. Survival is optional. Keeping the viewers entertained is not. Includes part one of the exclusive bonus story “Backstage at the Pineapple Cabaret.”

Book Description
"Quick and super-enjoyable! Kind of like a collection of X-files + moral philosophy + AI + dark web + plot twist mash-up super bonanza! One of the stories in particular, Death By Crowd really stood out to me. It dominates that super-creepy-cause-it-could-be-true vibe." ~ Mara "Time Crawlers is a gripping and fun read. Varun Sayal's writing is incredibly imaginative and original. I enjoyed every second of reading this short compilation of out of this world stories. If you are a fan of science fiction you should definitely pick up this book." ~ Lauren "He has some great ideas. It was interesting reading stories that clearly are fundamental to a different culture. I'm going to be watching for more stories from him." ~ Charles "I wasn't sure if I would like this book going in because I usually don't read hardcore science fiction. .. However, this set of short stories was very interesting and kept me reading. I would recommend it to anybody that likes sci-fi or futuristic stories. " ~ Cailin "Time Crawlers is a highly imaginative, gutsy and spellbinding book of 6 stories that take us on a morally challenging ride through high-tech worlds and encounters that shock, terrify and enthrall us." ~ Peter "Well-written and fun collection of short stories that kept my interest. The author gives us something to think about. How much of our current reality is real and how much is illusion?" ~ Cheryle "This book has definitely sparked my love for Sci-Fi book to the next level. Absolutely amazing concept." ~ Katherine "Time Crawlers was my favorite. I know... that's the short story that gave the book it's name. But seriously the concept of that story made me think about life, past, present and future and I just loved that." ~ Jessica "Time and tested subjects of invasion, conquest, AI taking over coupled with Djinns and powerful missile-like weapons from Hindu folklore, make for an engaging and diverse cocktail in this book. Must buy, an engaging read." ~ Ankita "Damn Good! The author takes us through a roller-coaster ride of a breath-taking narrative. Considering how vast the field of science fiction is, he weaves some mean tales." ~ Shatarupa"The stories grabbed my attention instantly and were quite addictive and hard to put down. I finished this book in one sitting and record time. The author no doubt has done his research well and I really admire his highly imaginative skills." ~ Surbhi "The style of writing is a breath of fresh air and the book as whole consists of all those thoughts a person usually ponder over while free. But what sets it apart from such thoughts is the amount of efforts that have been put in thinking over every aspect of those theories." ~ Mohini Stories:1. Nark-astra, The Hell Weapon: The weapons he possesses make him the destroyer of worlds, and he burns for revenge. A high-tech take on ancient Indian mythology. 2. Death by Crowd: The dark desires of the masses; darknet websites fueled by a crypto-currency. What lurks in the background - an advanced artificial intelligence?3. Genie: He rubbed a lamp alright, but what he got was the shock of his life. An entirely sci-fi take on the djinn myth.4. Time Crawlers: There are individuals who exist in multiple time periods at once, and there are those who know about them....5. Eclipse: No attacks, no blood-shed, yet there was an invasion and a conquest. Who are these shapeshifter aliens being hounded by an eclipse?6.
