About this ebook

Don’t miss this pulse-pounding collection of three novella-length tales that will keep even the bravest player up at night . . .

A dark bridge to the past . . . Dirk sets out on a long-shot quest to recapture a cherished childhood memory from a unique animatronic pizzeria. Mandy finds something lurking in the files of her favorite horror game and opens herself up to a haunting. In light of her son’s fascination with Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza, Sylvia buys her son a unique birthday present—a Freddy Fazbear mask that’s the genuine article . . . in more ways than one.

In this twelfth volume, Five Nights at Freddy’s creator Scott Cawthon spins three bonus novellalength stories from different corners of his series’ canon. These tales may have ended up on the cutting room floor while developing the Fazbear Frights series, but they bring no less terror in the telling.

Readers beware: This collection of terrifying tales is enough to unsettle even the most hardened Five Nights at Freddy’s fans.

Ratings and reviews

While a bonus book, this is a much more satisfying conclusion to the Fazbear Frights series! "Felix the Shark" itself is rather mediocre, with an interesting concept held down by a boring cast of characters. "The Scoop" suffers majorly from poor characters and plot, and I couldn't handle some of the main protagonist actions. "You're the Band" is an excellent conclusion to the series, featuring some fan favorite character used in an accurate way that sticks true to the games.

Why were these stories scrapped? Mandy is one of the few girls in all of Fazbear Frights to get a happy ending, and all three kids are nd-coded?? I loved them!!

7/10 for Felix the shark. 9/10 for The scoop and a 10/10 for the other one I forgot the name of.
