The Dungeon Crawler Carl audiobooks are narrated and produced by Jeff Hays, who is part of Soundbooth Theater. All eight of the Dungeon Crawler Carl books have an audio format available and they are one of the best audiobooks to listen to right now. Author Matt Dinniman credits a large portion of the story's success to the audiobooks, even going as far as to say he sells more audiobooks than any other format available.
The first audiobook for the series was released on January 28, 2021. According to Dinniman, this was right about the time he was already well into writing book four. The release of A Parade of Horribles in 2026 was the first time a new audiobook was released at the same time as physical and eBook versions.
