The Fazbear Frights series continues with three more bone-chilling, novella-length tales to keep even the bravest Five Nights at Freddy's player up at night . . .
After years of being kicked around, Greg, Alec, and Oscar are ready to take control of their lives. Greg decides to put the controversial science he's been studying to the test. Alec launches a master plot to expose his golden sister for the spoiled brat he knows she is. And Oscar, ever the miniature grown-up his mom needs him to be, decides to take something he wants . . . even though he knows it's wrong. But as these three will learn, control is a fragile thing in the sinister world of Five Nights at Freddy's.
In this second volume, Five Nights at Freddy's creator Scott Cawthon spins three sinister novella-length stories from different corners of his series' canon, featuring cover art from fan-favorite artist LadyFiszi.
Readers beware: This collection of terrifying tales is enough to unsettle even the most hardened Five Nights at Freddy's fans.

Hooray for the second installment of Fazbear Frights! I don't know quite what it is about these short story compilations but I immensely enjoy reading them and fly through the whole novel in record speed. They may have cliches and cringey moments but regardless of that, diving deeper into the FNaF lore is always something that leaves readers like myself wanting more. Scary situations are hidden in middle grade-like themes but that doesn't mean these stories can't still get dark! So let's discuss...
Fetch: 4 stars
"If the dog was human, forensics would point to Greg in a nanosecond. But the corpse was a dog. He didn't figure there'd be much of an investigation when the dog was found. It looked like the nasty little thing had been mauled by a coyote.
But it hadn't."
Greg and his friends decide to break into the town's old pizzeria and see what secrets hide inside for some excitement, but the last thing they expect to find is Fetch. A mechanical dog that syncs to your smartphone, but the strange thing is, in the year when the dog seemed to be built smartphones didn't even exist yet. Suddenly spooked, Greg and his friends run far away from the pizzeria and do not plan to go back. All is well until Greg gets a mysterious text message, somehow Fetch has connected to Greg's phone and anything Greg wants or wishes for, Fetch will make it come true. He'll bring Greg his favorite snacks and get him his dream lab partner, but all is not as it seems as Fetch's requests start to take a more sinister turn.
This is exactly the kind of story I expect from the FNaF universe and I love it! Aside from some silly moments that I can definitely overlook, Fetch is a creepy take on modern technology. The ending of this story seemed abrupt and while I wish we could have had some follow up on Greg's story, the thought of this animal dragging a girl's lifeless body into a young boy's house and leaving it for him as a prize is bone chilling and was a perfect climax to this story!
Lonely Freddy: 2 stars
"A panicky feeling began to rise in his chest. I just need to get outside, he thought I need some air. But breathing wasn't his problem. Moving was.
He tried to extend his leg to stand, but nothing happened. He wanted to push his palm to the floor to brace himself, but he couldn't."
Alec has always resented his little sister, Hazel, for being the perfect daughter while he is stuck as the troublemaker son. When he overhears his parents talking about testing out another new parenting method to "fix" him, Alec decides to give them exactly what they asked for and become the perfect son they always wanted. After a few strangely normal and nice conversations with Hazel, Alec comes up with a plan that his sister surprisingly goes along with. On the days up until Hazel's precious birthday party that their parents had spent an enormous amount of time and money on, Alec and Hazel decide to switch roles. Hazel will be the problematic, back-talking, and rude child while Alec will be polite, calm and helpful, all to throw off their parents; because Hazel is sick of living up to being perfect and Alec doesn't always want to be a disappointment. What could go wrong?
Blahhhh.
So far this was both the least creepy and most boring story of the Fazbear Frights collection. The lead up to the twist was far too long and the ending left me kind of confused if I'm honest. After finding the "Lonely Freddy" animatronics at Hazel's birthday party, Alec learns that parents can rent them for their children so they don't have to play alone. Alec follows one of the robots into a staff room of the pizzeria and finds himself faced with a Lonely Freddy and suddenly unable to move, somehow the robot switches minds (I think?) with Alec and steals his body. As the robot goes back to Alec's parents in his own skin, Alec is left in a locked box with other Lonely Freddy toys that hold the minds of other lost children. This one was just a little too weird for me and I felt the story could have gone in so many other directions, but I'm still giving it two stars because despite not really enjoying it I love this series as a whole and it was at least a quick read.
Out of Stock: 4 stars
""Um, is it just me or do the teeth look wrong?" Isaac pointed at the straight, slightly yellow human-looking teeth that were visible through Plushtrap's partly open mouth.
"No doubt about it. They look...real."
"They look"- he swallowed - "human.""
Oscar along with his friends Raj and Isaac have been waiting what seems like forever for the new Plushtrap Chaser toy to be released and the day has finally come. The boys decide to meet at the toy store after school, but upon arrival their hearts drop as all the Plushtraps have been sold out at every store. Searching high and low, Oscar and his friends find the last store with the toy in stock and join the large line of people. Getting closer and closer to the register the group of friends overhear a heated exchange between employees about a returned Plushtrap that can't be resold. When the last toy from the store gets bought and the employees tell everyone in line to go home, Oscar makes a quick decision. Darting behind the counter he grabs the returned toy and runs out of the store. Somehow he gets away from mall security and finally has the toy he's been waiting for in his room. Oscar, Raj and Isaac open the toy and are disheartened when it doesn't work, but upon closer look, they realize the Plushtrap Chaser is more sinister than advertised.
Oh my gosh, this is one of those stories that takes you a moment to fathom the horror, but once you do it's unshakeable. Human eyes and teeth have been ripped out and implanted into a children's toy, I mean how messed up is that? The toy inevitably comes to life and tries to kill and eat these kids and it chases them through a blackout. There were some moments in this story that literally had my palms sweating, like when the toy shut down in the middle of a doorway and Oscar, Isaac and Raj had to sneak past it before it woke up. Although, something that struck me as odd with this story is that it happens to be the first happy ending of the Fazbear Frights series and I must admit (creepily enough) that I was mildly disappointed about this! But readers got a bit more insight to the fate of the Plushtrap Chaser in the short chapter at the end of this book.
Just like in the first book, there were a few pages after the three initial stories and while readers still seem to be in the dark to the underlying bigger picture, the next novels will undoubtedly unfold the deeper and darker mystery and I can't wait to put all the puzzle pieces together! Only a few more months until 1:35AM!

The Fazbear Frights series continue's with three more twisted tales... the most disturbing out of the six so far.
It's been so fun reading these so far, and I hope I'll get the opportunity to obtain the rest of the series in the future beforehand; these stories are incredible for FNaF standards; especially horror. These stories are absolutely 12+, gruesome events go into full elaborate detail to the point where my stomach began to crawl.
Story 1: Fetch is by far the most unique and well written antagonist in the FNaF series, his story in particular has to be the most exciting, thrilling, and the most gruesome out of the two Fazbear Fright books so far, the twists will have readers in absolute disbelief.
Story 2: I'm not necessarily sure how to put this: but FNaF need's character development, it's something thats been scarce throughout the entire franchise, although these books do infact give the series a chance to go in depth with that, it can sometimes have **too** much character development to where it's basically a novel about some kids everyday life, I eventually forgot i was reading a FNaF horror book throughout the entire time, and is mainly why I gave this a Four stars, although the near end of the story saved it a bit, which it eventually leads up to something great after all that character development, and is.. certainly worth the read, and.. throughout my six years of being a FNaF fan, living through every event of fnaf, playing every game, reading every book, no story has kept me up at night besides this, I cant say much; but good lord.
Story 3: Fantastic, I don't have much to say about it, but it's fantastic ! Second favorite out of the two, it has a lot of suspense: horror is lacking, but the suspense is phenomenal.
----------------
Regarding the canonicity of these books, no, they are certainly not used to be used to solve the games, as i mentioned in my own Into the Pit review, these are fun short anthology stories, and to me i think Scott should incorporate his own FNAF anthology game series with ideas like these, theres so much potential!
The improvement here is that, theres more horror, a lot of horror actually, this series has a lot of light ahead of it to potentially become the next Goosebumps .
Another improvement is the linear storytelling, while some things are left up to interpretation and not explained.. confusing elements shown in Fazbear Frights #1 Into the pit do not reappear here, infact all of these stories are straightforward.
The main questions are, what lies in the dark, grim world of Five Nights at Freddy's? Exactly what is causing these events to happen? Who is this hooded figure roaming the shadows at night? and exactly what is Detective Larson following onto...
Read Fetch (Fazbear Frights #2) for more information!
All I can say is, Fetch and friends h2cus ;)
c u soon, fnaf fans

I really liked this book it's the same as the last book, it gives you 3 short horror stories set in the Fnaf universe, and gives you part 2/6 of The tale of the Stitchwraith. The first story is called Fetch, it's about a boy who discovers a robot dog who is programmed to do everything his master tells him to do. The second story is called Lonely Freddy which is my favorite out of the bunch, it's about a boy named Alec who hates his little sister named Hazel because his parents adore her way more then they do him and he is willing to do anything to best her. The third story called Out of Stock is about a boy named Oscar who always gets the short end of the stick, everytime he wants a toy or a video game from a store they are always sold out and he never gets it. Well, this time he is able to get a toy, but how desperate is he...? And finally we get to the Tale of the Stitchwraith which is still following the detective as he looks for leads on the case.

What a bummer, the first story *Fetch* was really really good. My favorite so far. But the other ones? Huge meh.
I’ll take a short break from the series, I’m somehow not in the mood rn. Recs are accepted 🥺

Its come to my attention that the reason why I like this short story series so far is because it's just creepypasta with the Fazbear characters 😂

2.5 🌟
I liked this one better than the first one, but I’m still not sure if these stories are proper additions to the game series. I love the FNAF universe so I’ll probably pick up the rest anyway.

Fetch: Ending was super open which isn't always a bad thing, but come on I want some gory shit from a Five Nights at Freddy's short story. Bloody sheets just aren't gonna do it for me. The concept of an AI with the intent to please the owner, without realizing and adhering to moral boundaries or even plotting to do it maliciously in the first place, is one of the more interesting concepts that's been introduced throughout the franchise.
Lonely Freddy: Kind of forgot that this was a short story from the FNAF franchise, because, similar to some of the other stories at times, the narrative about the creepy animatronics haunted by dead children murdered by a purple man takes a back seat in order to give the attention to whatever angsty "unloved" child is the protagonist. The latter half of the story was solid, the idea of the consciousness swap was interesting, and the dynamic of Alec and Hazel had the potential to be really cool. The horror felt a bit more gimmicky? I don't know, it felt really slow the majority of the time which caused Alec's character development to really drag.
Out of Stock: Having a protagonist who is able to have a somewhat clear idea of who they are and what their place in life is, makes the story a lot more readable. Sure, still an emotional 12 year old kid, but the relationships with his mum and his friends felt more compelling and real rather than having a parent there for the sake of having a parent character. Plushtrap felt a bit underutilized, and the story did suffer for it slightly by feeling like the shortest of the three.

Fetch: 4/5
Great vibes once again and an overall unique science fiction story. Ending was definitely my favorite part and left a lot unanswered but I think it worked for the better in this story. Only complaint is the antagonist was not truly scary and was never really a threat, more a mild annoyance if that. This did change at the very end but still this aspect is why a four and nothing higher.
Lonely Freddy: 3/5
Not really a scary story, pretty much guessed the plot from a mile away so no crazy twist here but the character work in the short amount of pages this story had was very well written despite knowing how each character would react the whole time. This is definitely a character driven story and it did a good job at what it was going for in its short run time.
Out of Stock: 4.5/5
Was very surprised by this one. Again predicted the premise of the plot from the first page but had great surprises along the way that I was not expecting or just didn’t think of. Does what the first two stories do but just better. Has good character work between the main character and his mom, not as much as lonely Freddy but still good for the time it gave it and also just did a small animatronic threat way better than fetch. Last half was so suspenseful and tense I just loved it. Gave such a fnaf story.

A friend recommended this to me and I figured it would be below my reading level and possibly even boring, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. I don't know whether it deserves a 4/5 or a 5/5. I liked the last two short stories 100 times better than the first one. This was a great introduction to the fnaf series for me.

Nawet luźno się czytało, ale pierwsze opowiadanie było według mnie zdecydowanie gorsze niż dwa następne. Wydawało się, że bezsensownie się ciągnie, a bohater co najmniej nie ogarnia. Ostatecznie jednak skończyło się i zakończenie było nawet satysfakcjonujące.
Moim faworytem i tak jest opowiadanie drugie, ale zakończenie go było dla mnie neutralne - ani się nie zachwyciłam, ale również nie rozczarowałam. Bardziej niż zakończenie doceniam głównego bohatera i to jak była prowadzona historia.

Me gustó más de lo que me esperaba.
Son tres relatos cortos inspirados en el mundo de Five Nigths at Freddy's (un videojuego de terror donde básicamente tienes que sobrevivir al ataque de animatrónicos, o sea, robots con rasgos de animales que intentan quitarte la vida), evidentemente el mundo y las referencias a este videojuego son muy presentes y como fan se disfruta bastante.
El primer relato (llamado Busca) en lo personal es mi favorito, aquí conocemos a tres amigos que entran a una pizzería abandonada y encuentran a Busca, un animatrónico con forma de perro que sirve como premio, el cuál puedes sincronizar con el celular, total, el animatrónico malinterpreta todas las cosas y misteriosos crímenes empiezan a ocurrir. Sin duda siento que fue muy irónico lo que sucedió.
El segundo (llamado Lonely Freddy) es bueno, tratado de un niño que quiere "sacar a la luz" la verdadera actitud de su hermana, haciendo muchas cosas mal. A la hermana le quieren celebrar el cumpleaños en la pizzería y ahí existen unos Freddys que puedes darles a los "niños mal portados", el relato tiene un plot un poco intenso y wow con el final.
Por último, el relato (llamado Sin Existencia) es el que cuenta con mayor referencia del videojuego, ya que sale a la venta un plushtrap, una especie de conejo que se vuelve inmediatamente popular en todo el mundo. Al llegar a la tienda, los protagonistas no consiguen su Plushtrap, pero encuentran uno que fue regresado debido a que hacía movimientos extraños. Total que sufren muchas cosas y estuvo muy ok. No fue mi favorito, pero lo que me gustó fue que este muñeco es un minijuego que puedes hacer en el canon de los videojuegos de FNaF.

As someone who didn't enjoy the first Fazbear Frights book, I wasn't in a rush to read the next one. But because I had pre-ordered the first two books at the same time, I figured that I might as well give it a read. In some ways, this book is even worse than the first with the first two stories being extremely cliched and populated by the most obnoxious characters I've encountered in a long time.
The first story was an extremely predictable story, which was only saved by a surprising amount of gore. Though the dialogue still felt forced and almost as if they were trying to be hip to the kids by putting in texting acronyms that made absolutely no sense, leading to the characters having to explain it. The second was the worst story I've read in a long time. Every single character was unlikable and infuriating, not helped by them all boiling down to the one basic personality trait.
The only shining example is the third and final story. While it is still cliched and predictable, it was written well and definitely made me curious to see what was going to happen next. Honestly, this has been the only saving grace for this entire series. But even still, I would not recommend this to anyone, but that's just my opinion.

again doing a review of each short story with minor spoilers
fetch: a lil weird but honestly was a good way to be like “careful what u wish for xx” loved the nerdy MC and that he was proud of his nerdiness!
lonely freddy: kinda half baked? had a clear moral of “dont take things for granted” but like,,,, i left still confused about his sister and their relationship and like why did he hate how perfect she was? ok yeah he’s different and doesn’t care to be liked but why does he hate her so bad and why did he wanna expose her so badly?
out of stock: i actually...really liked this one? it was the longest of the three and i feel like the plot and the world was really built out nicely. the freak factor was soooo good and i loved the ending!!
epilogue: this woman is a dumbass for letting a cop into her house without a search warrant. also why is this cop here alone?

While I did like the first volume of Fazbear Frights as a part of a franchise I'm into and the spooks, volume two was much more enjoyable as a collection of short stories in general. I really liked the writing, the pacing, and the construction of characters in this one. All of the stories had me hooked quite quickly and I liked them till the end, but overall "Lonely Freddy" is my favourite out of all Fazbear Frights stories in general! The main character was a great narrator for this since and the emotional conflict had me really invested – and the ending gave me chills. Looking forward to the next installment in the series.

This made the first book seem brilliant in comparison and even then I only rated the first one 2 stars. The short stories in the first book actually had potential and were kind of creepy whereas the three stories in this book were so boring and pointless. I also think the writing is really poor to the point it’s irritating to read.
Unfortunately I’m going to have to endure reading the next two books in the series because I have the book set and I refuse to not read them now that I own them, but otherwise I genuinely wouldn’t read any more of these.

I had to know: actually scary? underestimated? I mean you never know- people I respect have had a ball writing Minecraft novels, and the Plants vs Zombies comics are fun!
But no, this is nonsense. A little scary? But poorly drawn and lazily plotted.
So there you go, I did that for you. Should you buy it for your library? Absolutely. But hand them some Goosebumps once they’re finished with this clickbait.

Fetch:
A 14 year old named Greg finds himself and some friends in an abandoned pizza place. He finds a toy dog there, it becomes attached to him, does stuff for him, both good and bad.
The story doesn't make much sense. Fetch not only knows Greg's wants, but somehow watches his movements. If this is the case, and Fetch decided to take Darrin's finger, the question of why he didn't also bring money is questionable. Fetch is not controlled like one controls a drone strike, he must make decisions on how to pick and choose particular things that he fetches, so why he chose the finger and not the money, when the money was foremost in mind and the *cause* of the desire for the finger, seems rather backward. Was Greg simply more people-focused? Was his desires idle? Or is Fetch evil?
Kimberly's death seems even more strange. Can Greg not abort a mission, can he thoughts about protecting Kimberly not penetrate Fetch's mind? And, further, this type of thing isn't done by Fetch coherently. Manuel, desired by Greg, is not killed; when Greg desires his friends Hadi and Cyril, the both of them are not mauled and carried to his room, and Greg must take days to text them into doing what he wants. And, if we may say that Fetch understood what Greg wanted Hadi and Cyril to do, then we must also think that Fetch understood what Greg wanted to do with Kimberly: work with her later on their project.
With the apparent death of Kimberly, we could say that Fetch has gone berserk: he wants revenge on Greg, I guess, and instead of killing his friends who Fetch has watched interact with him for days, or going to put the final blow on Darrin his stand-in father, he decides on the girl he loves for some reason, even though in real terms, their connection cannot be as strong as the connection with the others, for he has just begun to start talking to her. In that sense, then, Fetch wants to kill an innocent, but not an innocent to the story--for Darrin is innocent, of course--but an innocent to the reader, someone who is barely within the work and has characteristics most like Greg's than anybody else: Kimberly.
I suppose I didn't like this story. The message is probably good, however, for the whole point of the story--the ability to wield almost unlimited power through mental suggestion alone, like when he forced a situation in which he and Kimberly are put together in a group--seems inherently evil to me. It is coercion without coercion, it is attaching strings to others' and using them as puppets with them knowing you have done so; and, hence, it seems to treat people as if the were lifeless, as if they were nothing but ragdolls, and abuse of such a power is probably inevitable. The story cannot help but, therefore, corrupt Greg's desires through the use of Fetch, for Fetch is too easy, and Fetch is power if only he functioned as a better slave than he is capable of. Fetch is like Greg's plants but functionally capable of being controlled but not capable enough for comfort, so that what Greg learns, ultimately, is his own stupidity--that it is just too dangerous to mess around with this type of stuff, that some things must be kept in the closet (or, in this case, cubby hole)--yet that message, I feel, fails to hit a bull's-eye by not showing that the power Greg wants is itself disgusting.
Lonely Freddy:
Alec is a Dunning-Krueger. He doesn't know his sister, he doesn't know his parents, he doesn't know his life, and he doesn't know his own feelings; however, because he knows only a little about them, and has an internal agenda far stupider than most people, and thereby he thinks himself all-knowing and is entirely too suspicious of things that go against his pre-thought thoughts. Like any Dunning-Krueger, he also hates it when people denigrate his clearly inferior intelligence.
The story is mainly about his experience of his life and about his sister. He considers her faux-perfect, a creature that dissembles her true personality. His parents treat her as a princess, because she acts like one, and therefore he is angry; he feels his life is unfair, and even owns that he thinks himself uncared for (quite ironic, one must say). One day, this sister (Hazel) helps him get back at his parents, and a relationship slowly buds between them--a relationship filled with suspicious on one side (we all know whose).
By the end, a party occurs in which Hazel wins a Yarg Foxy that he really wanted and associated with her being 'spoiled'. He tried to rig it but failed, making him incredibly angry; he raves, and she gives him the toy (of course). This results in his eventual destruction of his idiotic idea, too bad he is condemned to die a long and painful death as a toy in the trash. (Although he rages first.)
In double irony, Alec refuses to believe his sister and turns into a Lonely Freddy, giving his lonely sister (who only wants his love) that which she desires--a companion--and putting him into the position that he always thought he was in: outside the family fold.
Also: Alec is like 15 and Hazel is like a 10 year old, how in the world does he have his particular prejudices?
Out of Stock:
This is a rather simple story about taking life into your own hands--as the old man who serves as a pseudo-father-figure says, one day you've got to stop farming and harvest. It is one of the more suspenseful stories in the book, too.

Such a creepy collection!
Fazbear Frights are a series of books that collect 3 short stories into one volume (there are 12 volumes total for a final number of 36 stories!). This collection was a lot creepier than volume 1 I feel. The opening story, Fetch, gave me nightmares! The quickest summary is Fetch is about a little animatronic dog that taps the main character's phone and takes his name literally. Then we have a story on a group of friends who steal a toy from the store with dire consequences (it was the least creepy story and the weakest in the collection), and then the Lonely Freddy story which had an ending that turned my stomach; a "bad" boy learns what it means to be lonely at his sister's birthday party at Freddy's. "
Oof, seriously this book gave me goosebumps and freaked me out. Can't wait to try out the rest of the series.

la verdad es q me ha gustado más q el primero. leí comentarios q decían q los libros iban subiendo de nivel y volviéndose más crudos y gore. pues sí, la verdad, este ha sido más explícito, añadiendo al terror. sigo diciendo q Fetch ha sido buenísima, Out of Stock ha estado bien tmb (con un vibe similar a Fetch) y Lonely Freddy ha sido el más meh en tema de terror, lo sobrenatural tampoco me ha molado mucho, pero ha estado muy bien el build up hasta el momento ese de ''terror''.
al menos en este libro no se ha mostrado en una luz tan negativa a los personajes femeninos (eran secundarios la mayoría del tiempo). punto positivo :)

Un libro mucho mejor que el anterior! Con una notable mejoría en su escritura (nuevas escritoras al parecer) las historias presentadas fueron muy de mi agrado, aunque de las tres solamente una me haya gustado del todo y evocado suspenso y un poco de ese terror similar al videojuego, las demás historias estuvieron bien pero siento que faltó más. Espero que así como estas las demás historias vayan en ascenso.

Though these books started coming out a few years ago, I just now decided to get into them. Obviously these books aren’t some award winning novels, but there is still something special about them. Especially for those, like myself, who grew up reading the R. L. Stine Goosebumps books. Instead of mutant hamsters and living dummy’s it’s animatronics. Overall, I would definitely recommend these if this is the kinda style you’re into, and you’re looking for a light read.

Ok so this anthology series has 12 books. Each with 3 stories then a continuing epilogue at the back of each. Then there are 4 graphic novels afterwards. I've started this journey and intend to see it all the way through. Learning every bit of lore there is for the Fazbear universe even though I can "bearly" survive the videogame.
After these 16 books, I'm sure my brain will be FAZBEAR FRIED!!

As a collection, I don’t think this is quite as strong as the previous one. I did enjoy these stories, and “Fetch” was genuinely sickening. These poor children really do not deserve these awful things that are happening to them. I do almost feel like the ending of “Lonely Freddy” may be the worst fate of any protagonist so far. I hadn’t realized there was an epilogue in the first one so I missed that, but I found it here so I need to go back and read that, considering those are like, the actual lore. Also, what in the world was the deal with that gross Plushtrap???
