Ratings2
Average rating3
Don’t miss this pulse-pounding collection of three novella-length tales that will keep even the bravest player up at night . . . A dark bridge to the past . . . Dirk sets out on a long-shot quest to recapture a cherished childhood memory from a unique animatronic pizzeria. Mandy finds something lurking in the files of her favorite horror game and opens herself up to a haunting. In light of her son’s fascination with Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza, Sylvia buys her son a unique birthday present—a Freddy Fazbear mask that’s the genuine article . . . in more ways than one. In this twelfth volume, Five Nights at Freddy’s creator Scott Cawthon spins three bonus novellalength stories from different corners of his series’ canon. These tales may have ended up on the cutting room floor while developing the Fazbear Frights series, but they bring no less terror in the telling. Readers beware: This collection of terrifying tales is enough to unsettle even the most hardened Five Nights at Freddy’s fans.

Felix the Shark: ★★★☆☆The Scoop: ★★☆☆☆You're the Band: ★★★★☆Average: ★★★☆☆
Felix the Shark: You CANNOT tell me this story is not based on Rosie. The description of Felix really conjured up the image of Rosie in her green-lit tank, which allowed me to imagine the final scenes very vividly. It's very different from the basic Fazbear Frights formula, which I appreciate.
The Scoop: Suffers from being a little bit extremely very much too meta. Literally just a girl on a FNAF game theory forum that discovers a secret from decompiling FNAF 3. The ending saved this story, but other than that, it is pretty weak.
You're the Band: This one was very short and sweet, and another story that was exactly what I wanted from this book series. It feels connected to the games but in a very canon-respecting and in-universe way. Definitely the best story in this final collection.
Honestly, I am SO GLAD to be done with this book series. It included plenty of duds a few gems. Here are my overall top stories:
1. To Be Beautiful. One of the first stories and the absolute best. Well-written, graphic, and I still think about this one every once in a while.
2. The Man in Room 1280. Lore-heavy (related to Ultimate Custom Night) which made it a very intriguing read.
3. He Told Me Everything. Faz-goo may be silly but it was a very well-executed story and ugh I FELTTT the teeth pulling as I was listening to it.
My overall opinion on this entire series is that it's just... not that good. A lot of very formulaic stories, really weird concepts (looking at you, Sea Bonnies), and cookie cutter main characters. It could have definitely done with being a bit more selective on what to publish and what to cut. But the stories that were amazing, I absolutely LOVED. It's a mixed bag but it was worth the ride.
I hope MatPat is proud of any and all who made it to this point :')
Don't remind me that Tales from the Pizzaplex exists
