Scott Cawthon

Nach diesem Buch musste ich erstmal etwas lustiges lesen...

Da ich gerne Horror lese, war das Buch auf den ersten Blick nicht besonders "gruselig" und auch im Nachhinein ist der Schreibstil eher der eines Jugendbuches. Am Anfang fand ich dies etwas gewöhnungsbedürftig, doch von Kurzgeschichte zur Kurzgeschichte (insgesamt 3, alle weniger als 100 Seiten) wurde es immer besser.

Die Reihenfolge der Kurzgeschichten aus dem "Five Nights at Freddy's" Universum ist zufriedenstellend gewählt.

Der show more Leser wird langsam aber stetig auf die immer verstörenderen Geschichten vorbereitet.

Die ersten zwei Geschichten waren okay bis fast gut. Das unerwartete Ende macht das mittelmäßige bis dahin aber wieder weg. Und auch der Moment wo sich kleine Einzelheiten in das große ganze Einfügen hat mir sehr gefallen.

Die Finale Story war mit Abstand am Besten. Von Schreibstil her, den Charakteren (der Hauptcharakter in Story 2 ist schlimm auszuhalten) und Spannungsabbau grandios.

Die offenen Enden lassen einem jeweils verstört und fragend zurück...

Das gefällt einem entweder oder nicht.

Ich finde es hier mehr als passend und es verstärkt den Horror.

Wenn man mal kurz eine kleine gruselige Geschichte lesen will und "Five Nights at Freddy's" mag, dann kann ich das Buch definitiv weiter empfehlen.

I have a large collection of these novella collections. They started out as a spinoff of the Five Nights At Freddys universe, but has since expanded into general horror and suspense stories that have to do with the namesake animatronics. And I'm not sure I am a fan anymore. The first of three stories was the best, but it was anticlimactic and the ending felt like a copout. The second one wasn't horror, or even based on animatronics, it was just extraordinarily sad. The third was very poorly show more written and cliche, although it provided the best horror premise out of the three.

These stories keep appearing on my tbr because they take me back to the days of reading internet horror stories. Things like Borrasca and Penpal. The premises were goofy but well executed and infused with a childishness that was charming. This is just a sloppy rendition. show less

This book is a collection of three short stories set in the Universe of the Five Nights at Freddy's video game. This is the fourth volume in the series Fazbear Frights, which has over ten titles now, each with three short stories. I've previously read the first three.

The stories are written by the creator of the game, so it is not a true author writing it. This doesn't take away from it much, and makes the stories feel homier. As a fan of the games, nothing would make me dislike these show more shorts. All horror, usually with younger protagonists and some form of animatronic bad guy, with some good endings, some bad endings. For a book bought in a Walmart, it's not too bad, and does the game justice. show less

Five Night's at Freddy's: The Silver Eyes was an incredible read that gives an insider view into the FNAF lore and world Scott Cawthon has created in the games.

The worst part about this book (yes I'm starting with the worst) is that Scott Cawthon made it clear that this book is not completely canon and does not align up with the video games. Once you finally connect all these dots and think you solve the story, Scott has to go and switch up his lore! But that doesn't ruin this book at all, show more if anything it makes you try to connect little dots here and there to match up with the video game universe lore.

This book was a great addition to the FNAF world. I really enjoyed reading this story from another point of view. It gave great visual cues and was one of the few "horror YA" novels that I could actually get into.

For those who are into horror, and carnivals or old childhood tales, this book is definitely for you! It gives you a creepy, Chuck E Cheese vibe (if you haven't heard or read about FNAF before). These scary animatronics are attacking children and have even killed in the past. Or so they thought...

The lore is expanded so beautifully that I deem it an absolute must read for YA lovers, horror enthusiasts or FNAF fans.

There are bits and pieces that seem out of place, like specific markings on floorings being described or old childhood memories that seem to appear out of nowhere, but I know Scott Cawthon - everything is important. Perhaps in the next book these silly, little descriptions and features of this book will change the way we look at FNAF forever.

I am incredibly excited to see Charlie's story continue in the next novel (which HAS been announced! Yay!) and hopefully we might see her hinted at in any future FNAF games? Hopefully!!

Five out of five stars! show less
