“Into the Pit” By Scott Cawthon & Elley Cooper Review

Five Nights at Freddy’s fans won’t want to miss this pulse-pounding collection of three novella-length tales that will keep even the bravest player up at night . . . What do you wish for most? It’s a question that Oswald, Sarah, and Millie think they know the answer to. Oswald wishes his summer wasn’t so boring, Sarah wishes to be beautiful, and Millie wishes she could just disappear from the face of the earth. But in the twisted world of Five Nights at Freddy’s , their hearts’ deepest desires have an unexpected cost.In this 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 This collection of terrifying tales is enough to unsettle even the most hardened Five Nights at Freddy’s fans.

I personally had no expectations for this book because I played five nights at Freddy’s video games and I wasn’t a fan of them. But I decided to give this whole franchise another shot. Which this franchise didn’t use it in my opinion.

This book includes 3 separate horror short stories. And in reminded me in a way of the “are you afraid of the dark?” Books, but these two series can’t be compared because this book series seems like it tries way too much to be like  “are you afraid of the dark?”.

Overall this book felt like it was trying to be as similar to the “are you afraid of the dark?” Books that it forgot to be unique and speak to the reads in its own way rather than to pretend to be a “are you afraid of the dark?” Book. 

All of the 3 separate horror short stories which this book has were pretty short. The first short story was very good and interesting but the 2 last once was very boring and very annoying at times. Which really annoyed me because the first short story hyped us to expect more very good stories but the 2 last once just gave us the middle finger.

All of the 3 separate horror short stories takes place in the Five Nights at Freddy’s universe. So there are connected in a way so its important to read them all to get the full picture of this franchise. But if you played the games and you didn’t like them then I would recommend to not read this book because it doesn’t get any better.

All of the characters in these 3 horror stories aren’t the best to be fully honest here. They had some good moments but for the most of the time they are very annoying and unlikeable.

The writing style feels like it was written for pre-schoolers because it is way to simple. But I don’t know what reasonable parent would let their pre-schooler read horror stories. 

I Give This Book 2 / 5
