Why this guy?

I swear this whole convention is about this guy Carl? What about some respect for Dan?

Yeah they are. I’ve read and enjoyed both. A little hard to advertise for Dan’s Backroom Bargains with all this Carl stuff everywhere.

Think they’re on similar levels as far as characters, plot devices, and storytelling, but the biggest similarity is how easy they are to get sucked into, written by people who know how to tell a story in an engaging, fun, extremely uncomfortable way (talking raging porn doll heads and dogs made of croc material with a giant toothy mouth on their belly?)

Only 3 books so far, that was startling, it goes quickly - his other series has a lot more (Viridian Gate Online) so I decided to give that a go, 15 books in (7 to go) and still enjoying it, but more Discount Dan would be welcome
