3.9 stars.
I'm really enjoying the Stitchwraith investigation stories at the very end of each book. It's nice to have an episodic narrative with heavy mystery after each random short story set.
As for this book, I thought 2 out of the 3 were quite good. Although the first story 1:35AM DRAGGED and was more of a psychosocial thriller than a Five Nights at Freddy's tale, but after finishing the Stitchwraith origin at the end of this anthology I understand and appreciate it a bit more knowing the theme of trauma and negative emotions is now a somewhat physical plot device: Delilah suffered a traumatic past while in foster care, so she, herself, was haunted. Very sad. But extremely slow. Normally I'm okay with a slow burn, but the while story was just the girl's descent into madness.
Room for One More made me want to throw up as the tragic end to that character is burned into my brain for life. And The New Kid will probably give me nightmares. It was very satisfying to see the sick bastard William Afton die an extremely painful death in both the games and in The Silver Eyes book, but it's a whole 'nother terrifying shock and nightmare when a child suffers the same fate. No child should EVER have to go through that no matter what they've done.
Let's keep the Frights coming.
