This Inevitable Ruin (Dungeon Crawler Carl #7)

by Matt Dinniman

my mind. I sat on the ground and leaned my back against a tree. I’d never watched the Lone Ranger show. It was way before my time. I wondered if my dad had watched it. There was another show, called The Rifleman that I know he’d liked, but even that was old for him. I wondered if shows like that had been responsible for his love of western novels. Though, honestly, he’d pretty much stuck with Louis L’Amour books. I was the one who’d spread out to others like Zane Grey and Larry McMurtry, but once I’d discovered sci-fi, fantasy, and horror, those books took kind of a back seat for a while. And then I’d discovered some of the classics, the ones I should’ve read in high school but didn’t, and I realized I would never, ever run out of books.
