Publisher's summary

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.”

Stellar work as always

It looks grim. Carlos and Donut must overcome a daunting number of obstacles to save the greatest number of lives on the 8th floor. Which of their guild mates will this floor take? Why does Donut’s new hobby start with a Sailor’s hat? Be prepared for a hilarious story.

I haven’t even finished it yet but had to comment

Bro I couldn’t stop laughing at the part “ then all of a sudden he stuck my big toe in his mouth, groaned and arched his back”.
Man that is the funniest thing I’ve ever listened too out of a book lmao!

I've been really enjoying this series... up to now

the whole card thing is an absolute drag... I find myself listening to it but not paying at at all. it's not the focus grabber I was hoping for.

How do these keep getting better

This is one of the best series out there period. Add in the work from Jeff and you have a masterpiece.

Absolutely Phenominal

Excellent writing, fantastic setting and characters, superb narration. Honestly one of the best books I’ve read.

Perfection

This book is... incredible. It is an example of what audiobooks can and should be, a flawless merging of subject and medium. Hilarious, thrilling, meaningful, heartbreaking. I laughed, cried, and couldn't stop listening. Do yourself a favor. Listen to this!

Fantastical Experience

So happy with this audio book. Awesome continuation of the series. My only gripe is the spoiler at the very beginning that has to do with a voice actor being featured in this audio book by revealing who the character they’re voicing. 11/10 - Will re-listen to the book once the series is complete and I can binge it all in one go. Hats off to all those involved! Thank you all for a seriously entertaining story.

Never fails to entertain!

The combination of Jeff and Matt is just out of this world. The series has been fantastic from the start and the story is great, the reading has no equal. All my family and friends are eager for the story to continue.

Great Book

I loved the cards in this a lot of them were really funny and great.

Oh my!

Story's getting more twisty & real. All with the same great humor. LOVE IT!! ❤️
