About the Author

Scott Cawthon is the author of the bestselling video game series Five Nights at Freddy's, and while he is a game designer by trade, he is first and foremost a storyteller at heart. He is a graduate of The Art Institute of Houston and lives in Texas with his family.
Kelly Parra is the author of YA novels Graffiti Girl, Invisible Touch, and other supernatural short stories. In addition to her independent works, Kelly works with Kevin Anderson & Associates on a variety of projects. She resides in Central Coast, California with her husband and two children.
Andrea Rains Waggener is an author, novelist, ghostwriter, essayist, short story writer, screenwriter, copywriter, editor, poet, and a proud member of Kevin Anderson & Associates’ team of writers. In a past she prefers not to remember much, she was a claims adjuster, JCPenney’s catalogue order-taker (before computers!), appellate court clerk, legal writing instructor, and lawyer. Writing in genres that vary from her chick-lit novel, Alternate Beauty, to her dog how-to book, Dog Parenting, to her self-help book, Healthy, Wealthy, & Wise, to ghostwritten memoirs to ghostwritten YA, horror, mystery, and mainstream fiction projects, Andrea still manages to find time to watch the rain and obsess over her dog and her knitting, art, and music projects. She lives with her husband and said dog on the Washington Coast, and if she isn’t at home creating something, she can be found walking on the beach.

Enter the pizzaplex and discover what surprises come next.

In the latest entry in the Five Nights at Freddy’s series, readers get to know three young women through short stories. In “Frailty,” high school student Jessica just wants to help those around her; she has a janitorial job at the local hospital where she uses her unusual pendant to heal others. “Lally’s Game” follows former model Selena, who is waiting for the other shoe to drop in her all-too-perfect life with her handsome fiance. Married life gets off to a rocky start when Selena learns her new husband has secrets connected to a mysterious old trunk. Birthday girl Maya in “Under Construction” wants to forget the financial constraints of her reality for a little bit: She celebrates her sweet 16 at Freddy Fazbear’s Mega Pizzaplex and finds the one game she wanted to try is not available to customers—but that doesn’t stop her. Each finds herself at the mercy of the world they live in. This volume offers a style of horror that readers will be familiar with from the video game lore. Those who have enjoyed previous novels the games have inspired will appreciate what they encounter here. The stories have engaging plots that progress with a clear simplicity suitable for reluctant readers. Excepting Puerto Rican Maya, most main characters present White.

A quick and familiar dive into this franchise’s trademark horror. (Horror. 12-18)
