Book: 1:35AM
Author: Scott Cawthon, Andrea Waggener, Elley Cooper
Book Series: Five Nights at Freddy’s: Fazbear Frights Book 3
Rating: 5/5
Recommended For...: horror lovers, FNAF players
Publication Date: May 5, 2020
Genre: Horror
Recommended Age: 14+ (death, illness, gore, abuse mentioned)
Publisher: Scholastic Inc
Pages: 272
Synopsis: From twisted toys to gut-wrenching games, this collection of terrifying tales is unsettling enough to mess with even the most hardened Five Nights at Freddy's fans. In this volume, horror master Scott Cawthon spins three sinister novella-length stories from different corners of FNAF's canon. Each story comes complete with accompanying artwork from a fan-favorite game artist to bring the horror to life in a whole new way.
Readers beware: In this startling world, desperate wishes have an unexpected cost, beautiful trinkets reveal appalling powers, and harmless pranks can go awry in ghastly ways.
Review: I am in love with these books! I love the premise and the stories. They’re well crafted and written. The stories are also very spooky and I’ve been having so many nightmares. Definitely recommend for the spooky season. The main thing to take away from this book is that FNAF effects all ages, not just kids, and that makes the series a bit scarier.
My own issue with this book is that the main characters were not kids and it was a bit of a weird shake up from the MO of the model of these books. The second story also had a weird POV switch and it threw me off.
Verdict: Recommend these still!

My favorite one so far!! I loved the first two stories, but the third one was only okay. I really didn't care about the characters in the last story and it was, unfortunately, the most character focused of the three stories. The first story was definitely my favorite and I loved the inclusion of Ballora and her little marionettes in the second story!

Well… that escalated quickly, didn’t it?! The FNAF books have always been advertised as ‘not for younger readers’ and honestly…who are they kidding? They weren’t particularly unnerving – no more than the Goosebumps ones were. But 1:35am ramps that up and honestly, some of the actual horror of the stories were intense and definitely had my eyes going wide in a ‘WTF’ way! But that’s a GREAT thing!
So 1:35am is the third instalment of the Fazbear Frights collection of short stories – each book has three short stories and I’ve enjoyed the past instalments but this one kicked it up a notch!
The first story was easily the scariest in terms of actual horror. It’s a slow burn and honestly it’s just so fucking tragic!
But the best bit about this collection – OMG the call backs to the original games! I love the interwoven webs between these stories, the original books, the games, omg trying to figure it all out is sweet agony!
But being able to recognise the throw backs or links was amazing throughout these stories – hence the 5 stars!
People who aren’t previous fans of the franchise can still enjoy these stories, but fans will absolutely get the most out of these!

Actually good horror stories?? In MY FNAF extended canon? It’s more likely than you think.
