I am thoroughly surprised at how much I am enjoying this series. My daughter has been trying to get me to read them since they came out and I refused. I was never a fan of the games and assumed they would be dull.
Instead, we get three well crafted scary stories. They are definitely geared towards a younger audience, but there is enough suspense and good characterization to keep my interested.

There are three short stories -
I’m not a literary expert so I can’t describe how exactly, but the first short story, Fetch, feels like it was written badly. Weird pacing, just uninteresting as a whole. When a horror scenario feels like it could easily be solved and the author ignore or jumps around these solutions, it makes it a lot less scary and more frustrating to read. Or maybe it was just all the weird texting… I’m a chronically online teenager and I have no clue what GNSD, DDAS, H2CUS means. Feels like a 40 year old who’s tragically disconnected from life wrote this. 2/5
The second short story, Lonely Freddy, is perhaps one of my favourite short stories of all time. I’m pretty sure there are two authors in this book, and whoever wrote this one has a lot more experience writing horror. Fluent and detailed writing, but simple enough for kids to understand. A brilliantly unfolding and concluding plot line with characters you actually care about. There’s even character development! Something that a lot of these FNAF short-stories tries - and I say TRIES - to portray is that horror isn’t just in the murderous plushies and supernatural blood thirsty animatronics: horror and tragedy can exist in ourselves and in normal life. This is the only short story that has done this well, and it’s much more impactful. I think this story should have been the title, it’s just a brilliant kid’s horror short-story. 5/5
Third short story, Out Of Stock, is pretty average. Plays like an 80’s cheap horror flick, a killer plush doll chases kids around a house during a storm and power outage. Fun and tense. 3/5
