Personalmente, me da gracia pensar que alguna madre leyó esta serie de libros para ver si era apta para sus hijos y se encontró con niños desmembrados y cadáveres dentro de animatrónicos. En fin, esta segunda entrega es muy entretenida; en ese sentido, ninguna me decepcionó hasta ahora.
"Busca" me resultó un crescendo constante con un final bastante coqueto y más sutil de lo que esperaba. Con un buen manejo de la tensión y el ritmo. Con personajes simples y genéricos pero funcionales al fin y al cabo.
"The Lonely Freddy" también es bastante entretenido, a pesar de que le cuesta milenios llegar al punto. Me lo vendieron tanto como el peor cuento de los Fazbear Frights y también como el mejor, y ni una cosa ni la otra; entretenido sin más. Eso sí, el final es perfecto.
"Sin existencias" me hizo recordar a películas como "The Gate" (1987), donde un grupo de niños y adolescentes, sin querer, abren la puerta al infierno en su patio y deberán enfrentarse a los peligros que acechan. Bueno, aquí un grupo de niños roba un muñeco que intentarán matarlos. Ese espíritu de terror juvenil con cosas grotescas está muy bien plasmado y honestamente es mi favorita del triunvirato de cuentos.
¡Cómo me gustan estos libros, caramba!

Alright, I remembered to finally type up this review, and I want to dig a bit more into the stories for each FF review, meaning I'll have to go back to Into the Pit (whoops!) I originally gave this one a 3/5 overall, but after thinking more about the stories compared to the others, I decided to bump it up to a four. I really liked this book. Did I like it more than Into the Pit? Debatable, but these stories were just too good. I'm a couple books ahead of my reviews right now, and some of the stories are a bit lackluster. Maybe this book was just still new to me when I read it, and it's imprinted fondly in my brain, who knows. These ones were pretty dark, though.
--LIGHT SPOILERS BELOW--
1. Fetch: 3.5/5
I liked reading this one, probably because it still links semi-closely to Fazbear Ent. and Freddy's itself, where Greg and his buddies bust in and find Fetch. There was constantly a bit of suspense for me, just wondering wtf this robot dog was doing while he blew up Greg's phone, and the lengths Fetch went through to essentially spy on Greg and grab him whatever he wanted, whether that was literally MURDERING A DOG, biting off a finger, you get what I'm saying. I liked the pacing of this story compared to some of the others.
2. Lonely Freddy: 3.5/5
I HATED THIS STORY. And by hated, I mean it really unsettled me. This was actually a story where I closed my book afterwards and had to go "Oh god.". I wasn't the biggest fan of the pacing, as well as Alec's general distrust of his sister just trying to be his dang friend the whole time, but the whole last bit at Freddy's was what did me in. I think I'm just severely empathetic, and when "I realize and regret my actions but now [insert bad thing here] has happened to me, so now you'll never know" happens in any context of media, my brain melts in my skull and it hits me hard. This is basically what happened to Alec, and honestly, just the idea of Lonely Freddys in general made me sad when they were referenced following kids around the pizzeria. (Also, what the heck is a Yarg Foxy? I just picture Dreadbear's Captain Foxy and call it a day...)
3. Out of Stock: 4/5
This was a good one. Why anyone would want a Plushtrap Chaser is beyond me (looks at my huge bookshelves of FNAF plushies). I feel like this story was the strongest of the three, and also had some pretty decent horror in it (really, a plushie with squishy human eyes and real human teeth? what the hell). I didn't find the pacing to be too bad in the beginning, which is usually the tiny issue I have when I go through these stories. The buildup to Oscar getting the Chaser, and the subsequent chasing and eventual MURDER of this demonic-ass rabbit was a good read for me. Also, why were all these flashlights and phones dying? Do normal teenagers not think to charge their phones before big storms come in? Also bonus points for Stitchwraith peeling it off the railroad tracks in the epilogue. I enjoy how Stitchwraith's story also includes little nods like that towards the FF stories themselves.
