Monster Core 2

About This Audiobook

Von Dominus is back, and Zagorath is hungry—literally. In *Monster Core 2*, Dante King cranks the weird up to eleven, blending grotesque humor, over-the-top power fantasies, and a dungeon-crawling narrative that feels like a love letter to tabletop RPGs crossed with body-horror fanfiction. This isn’t just another fantasy audiobook; it’s a grotesque carnival of magic gone wrong, where every new realm Von scours for trophies twists into a nightmare of his own making. Expect body-swapping demons, sentient artifacts with *opinions*, and a dungeon that’s less a structure and more a ravenous, expanding organism. The prose is snappy, the stakes are gloriously stupid, and the worldbuilding is so dense it feels like King’s dumping lore straight into your skull via osmosis. If you’ve ever wanted to listen to a villain narrate their own villain origin story while mid-orgasm, this is your audiobook.

Narrated with manic glee by C.J. Mission, this isn’t a dry reading—it’s a performance. Mission leans into Von Dominus’s smug, self-satisfied villainy with a voice that oscillates between purring arrogance and manic cackling, making every power grab feel like a punchline. The pacing is relentless, with Mission’s delivery mirroring King’s breakneck worldbuilding, ensuring you won’t zone out even if you disagree with Von’s life choices. The production is crisp, the sound design minimal but effective, leaving room for Mission’s performance to shine. This is audiobook narration as an endurance sport, and Mission is your coach—cheering you on to listen just one more chapter, damn the consequences.
