Dungeon Crawler Carl
This week in the Tiny Shed, Tia and Chandler descend into the chaotic, loot-filled madness of Dungeon Crawler Carl by Matt Dinniman—a dystopian fever dream where RPG mechanics, DnD energy, and old-school runner game vibes collide with a talking cat and a dude in his boxers.

He Sees You When You're Sleeping
This week in the Tiny Shed, Tia and Chandler wade into the snowy, storm-soaked weirdness of He Sees You When You’re Sleeping by Alta Hensley—a cozy-on-the-outside, deeply unhinged-on-the-inside read. We unpack firefighters with questionable judgment, and the bold theory that two boys can be true at once (even when one of them is actively committing crimes). Expect spirited discussion of mystery hoohaws and splitting an Uber for swinger parties. Come for the wintery city atmosphere and a man in uniform; stay for the resting reading face, and our collective reckoning with what romance is not.

Along the way, discover which book accidentally led them into a case of accidental cannibalism and the book that converted Tia into a full-blown sci-fi fan. Plus, the truth is finally out: who is the picky water drinker of the pod?
