Continuing my reading of the Fazbear universe, because I’m currently in a fixation that just won’t seem to stop. This is the first book of the Fazbear Frights series, and I really enjoyed the idea of these novella short stories as opposed to the full novels. I enjoyed The Silver Eyes trilogy, but these little stories make for a quick, entertaining read that aren’t as deep as a full series would be. The ending of the book contains a epilogue, which I believe is added to at the end of each FF book if I recall.
These stories are written very Goosebumps-esque and I enjoyed reading them. All three stories deal with the idea of three separate kids getting what they desire the most (albeit in a way they wouldn’t expect, as a Fazbear novel would go.): an exciting summer, a chance to be beautiful, and a way to disappear from the world. I’m not too sure if I could pick a favorite out of the three, but like I said in my trilogy review, I’m probably one of the biggest suckers for Funtime Freddy. I loved how he was portrayed in Count the Ways, the snarky kook. I’m looking forward to reading the rest of the Fazbear Frights.

While I am aware this is literature aimed at youth, I am unsure how I feel about how “on the nose” a lot of the morals are in these three stories. I personally am interested in engaging with the lore of FNAF (as I’m sure many non-youth consumers are) and felt as though this was a good introduction to where Scott plans on furthering the cannon outside of the game franchise.

A nice anthology of stories that have an overarching connecting story. Plenty of connections to the game series. Lore implications unclear at first as some of it very much clashes with the game lore.

I love the idea of the fnaf series but disliked every moment of reading this book. It's was full of bad speech, poor descriptions and confusing plot. I like the concept of two of the stories but found all of them to be poorly executed
