Blackbird has 3 different stories which will terrify you the first story was about the creepiest two friends who were going to make a horror movie for there class to enjoy。 Blackbird is a character where you have to tell your darkest secrets or else。 The Real Jake is a dark story it has no reference the Freddy Fazbear's Pizza or no mention of the bear Freddy。 It's about two sprits one is a good one is a bad one。 Hide and Seek the third story is about this character in an arcade game called Hide Blackbird has 3 different stories which will terrify you the first story was about the creepiest two friends who were going to make a horror movie for there class to enjoy。 Blackbird is a character where you have to tell your darkest secrets or else。 The Real Jake is a dark story it has no reference the Freddy Fazbear's Pizza or no mention of the bear Freddy。 It's about two sprits one is a good one is a bad one。 Hide and Seek the third story is about this character in an arcade game called Hide and Seek it's a dark version of a character called Bonnie the Bunny。 。。。more

This book is a very strong entry in the Fazbear Frights series， with each story being well written and haunting。 Technically， I find the first story to be the only truly scary story in the bunch， with the second being a melancholy look at hope in the face of death and suffering， and the third being only mildly frightening for me。 Still， it's definitely a good read， even though I have gripes about the last story。 The most spoiler free explanation I can give is that the third story follows the fam This book is a very strong entry in the Fazbear Frights series， with each story being well written and haunting。 Technically， I find the first story to be the only truly scary story in the bunch， with the second being a melancholy look at hope in the face of death and suffering， and the third being only mildly frightening for me。 Still， it's definitely a good read， even though I have gripes about the last story。 The most spoiler free explanation I can give is that the third story follows the familiar trope of the main character needing to realize that his suffering was his own fault。 He had blamed his family for making him feel so bad， when really， he should've done more to connect with them and be positive。But the book blatantly shows that it's certainly also his family's fault。 His older brother is verbally abusive towards him， explicitly belittling him， insulting him， intentionally starting fights with him， and encouraging fist fights that he knows the protagonist will lose。 His little redemptive moment near the end feels sudden and disingenuous。 It's way too little， way too late， and it's baffling how the older brother didn't expect his little brother's reaction when it's literally the personality the older brother has been grooming in the protagonist for years。To a lesser degree， the father is also at fault here。 The protagonist's father is distant and refuses to talk about a sensitive family issue that divided them years ago。 Nowhere in the story is it stated how the protagonist could've reached out to him over this divide。 It's implied that the protag needed to join in on this common interest between the father and the older brother， but this wouldn't have fixed everything， or at least not the areas of their relationship that need it。 The protag even has a moment where he tries to talk to his father about this thorny issue， but his father literally offers nothing to say。The protagonist is still a flawed character， and is still undone by his own arrogance and pride。 However， I cannot accept placing most of the blame on him， which the narrative does near the end of the story。 I cannot blame him for not connecting with people who either ignored him， or who physically， emotionally， and psychologically hurt him。 。。。more

All of the stories were amazingly written and well-executed。 The second and third one were definitely jaw droppers， and had me shocked when I read the last sentence。 The second story is also not horror， but more towards an upsetting novel but it became much better towards the end。 It's great that the authors are providing this variety of stories to help keep us entertained。 All of the stories were amazingly written and well-executed。 The second and third one were definitely jaw droppers， and had me shocked when I read the last sentence。 The second story is also not horror， but more towards an upsetting novel but it became much better towards the end。 It's great that the authors are providing this variety of stories to help keep us entertained。 。。。more

The improvement in the writing and quality of the stories as this series progresses is just amazing。 It gets me more and more excited for each upcoming release！"Blackbird" was such a great psychological horror story that keeps you on the edge of your seat wondering what's going to happen next。 And considering you never know if you'll get a happy ending or a gruesome death at the end of each story in the Fazbear Frights series， it really makes the suspense level that much more intense。"The Real J The improvement in the writing and quality of the stories as this series progresses is just amazing。 It gets me more and more excited for each upcoming release！"Blackbird" was such a great psychological horror story that keeps you on the edge of your seat wondering what's going to happen next。 And considering you never know if you'll get a happy ending or a gruesome death at the end of each story in the Fazbear Frights series， it really makes the suspense level that much more intense。"The Real Jake" is just sad。 I don't know if it's just from the perspective of being a parent myself or what， but this one hurt my heart。 There are some nice twists where you're expecting FNAF-style craziness but then realize it's all normal and fine， but wait。。。 THEN IT'S NOT。 YOU GOT TRICKED ONCE AGAIN！ But seriously， the story is heart-wrenching and realistic in so many ways。 It also has some interesting implications pertaining to the lore due to the emotional ties related to objects as well as the ending。 I can't say much more without spoiling it， but yeah。。。 Be sure to read the epilogue of this book too because you're going to get a LOT of clarification。"Hide and Seek" was an awesome take on Shadow Bonnie。 I never really thought a rabbit shadow would be very intimidating， but this was a neat perspective on the idea。 The main character is， yet again， a very realistic personification of a teenager with all of their bs， although his home situation does explain a lot about his attitude。 He's very similar to some of the other teenaged boys in the series （a running theme） and seems to find himself in a similar situation as well。 This is a milder take on psychological horror， and it's done reasonably well despite being so similar to the "Step Closer" story。 The ending sort of came out of nowhere for me though。 It wasn't really a shocker， but it could've had a bit of a better buildup to make the character's choice seem more realistic。 The one factor that really did it for me in this story though is how it tied into the epilogues of the books。 Bonus points for getting to understand a mystery character better， but I think "Hide and Seek" was lacking something in its execution of telling this particular individual's story。 。。。more

Blackbird:The story was nice， especially the horror parts were well written。 Also I loved how the Blackbird was created， it was something diffrent and it made sense given the setting。 What I didn't like - and here a little spoiler - was how the victim thanks his bully for the bullying。 I can understand forgiving them but thanking them？ Nah， this is not how you deal with this topic。The Real Jake:Wow， this one hit close to home。 Very real and very sad story dealing with the topic of death in a tot Blackbird:The story was nice， especially the horror parts were well written。 Also I loved how the Blackbird was created， it was something diffrent and it made sense given the setting。 What I didn't like - and here a little spoiler - was how the victim thanks his bully for the bullying。 I can understand forgiving them but thanking them？ Nah， this is not how you deal with this topic。The Real Jake:Wow， this one hit close to home。 Very real and very sad story dealing with the topic of death in a totally different way than the previous stories。 The story is very well written with great pacing and plot twists you do not expect。 I think it's one of the sadest stories till now but it also presents a great message。 Hide and Seek:This story was also interesting， I liked Toby， I can see why he suffers but I would say that his family is also to blame for the whole situation。 I really liked that we got to see shadow Bonnie in this story and it was interesting how Toby was trying to deal with him。 The ending has similiar vibes to 1:35am， it's freeing in a sense but it's a shame that it had to end like that for the boy。 The epilogue was so good， oh my god！ I'm looking forward to seeing what happens next。 The visuals were SO good in this one but also it's so sad， Jake deserves to be happy。 。。。more

I'm enjoying the series so far。 The first story I don't think was in the same vein as the previous stories in the past books。 There is a new "animatronic" featured here， which isn't really an animatronic。 I felt kind of let down by the ending。 I guess one of the main ideas here is that the Blackbird is real， and not someone dressed up in a costume。 We'll see if it makes another appearance elsewhere in the FNAF universe。The second story is phenomenal。 Dealing with grief and how to deal with inevi I'm enjoying the series so far。 The first story I don't think was in the same vein as the previous stories in the past books。 There is a new "animatronic" featured here， which isn't really an animatronic。 I felt kind of let down by the ending。 I guess one of the main ideas here is that the Blackbird is real， and not someone dressed up in a costume。 We'll see if it makes another appearance elsewhere in the FNAF universe。The second story is phenomenal。 Dealing with grief and how to deal with inevitable loss。 And the final story wasn't too bad。。。 Overall， because the first and third stories I felt were lacking， this may be the weakest book in the series。 I'll be there when the next one comes out。 。。。more

4 out of 5 stars。That was the best one so far。 Genuinely， the storytelling in each novella was the best the series has had so far。Easily the best was the middle story about Jake。 I seriously want to know more about the doll and what's happened to him。 4 out of 5 stars。That was the best one so far。 Genuinely， the storytelling in each novella was the best the series has had so far。Easily the best was the middle story about Jake。 I seriously want to know more about the doll and what's happened to him。 。。。more

BlackbirdI really liked this story its pretty much a mixture of 1:35 am， Bunny call， Step closer and Dance with me。 The elements from each of stories blended together well except the Dance with me elements they felt out of place。 The story atmospheric and pretty creepy I liked the characters my favorite would have to be Sam I just really like how they used him in the story。 I also liked Blackbird as the antagonist they set him as something to be feared really well。 My favorite part of the story BlackbirdI really liked this story its pretty much a mixture of 1:35 am， Bunny call， Step closer and Dance with me。 The elements from each of stories blended together well except the Dance with me elements they felt out of place。 The story atmospheric and pretty creepy I liked the characters my favorite would have to be Sam I just really like how they used him in the story。 I also liked Blackbird as the antagonist they set him as something to be feared really well。 My favorite part of the story is the ending I really liked the cliffhanger。 Overall 8/10 even though I liked that it served justice to 1:35 am's and Bunny call's concept because 1:35 am and Bunny call didn't hit the mark so I'm glad that took both of those concepts and hit the mark I do wish that it was more original。The real JakeThis was the story I was the one I was the most excited about and it didn't disappoint me。 This story was really sad even more sad than Coming home in my opinion。 It wasn't that scary but it was really good I liked characters。 The parallels were interesting it was nice that we got more backstory about Jake and even though you know Jake isn't going to get a happy ending it still hits hard when dies。 Overall it was a well written and interesting story 8。3/10。Hide and seekThis was weakest out of the three in my opinion but I still liked it。 It was nice getting a story about Shadow Bonnie and he was a good antagonist。 I liked Toby I though he was a pretty solid protagonist and the reveal that Toby was the one pushing his Dad and brother not his dad reminded me of Lonely Freddy。 I didn't hate the ending unlike most people who think it sucked I liked it but at first like most people it confused me and didn't like it much but after a little while the ending grew on me and I liked it more It might grow me even more later but anyways it reminded me of 1:35 am's ending because when Toby impaled himself he was happy like Delilah from 1:35 am when she got stuck in the vent and she was happy。 I'm unsure if Toby when Insane like Delilah but if he did I wouldn't be too surprised anyways The ending is pretty confusing and unsettling I found it better and more unsettling than 1:35 am's can't really explain why I just did。 Overall 7。8/10。The epilogueI really liked it and had the best William come back it was really sad that Jake sacrificed himself to save Andrew。 It was disappointing that the Stitchwrath gets destroyed for the creation of Miscreation while a cool concept I wish that we got to see more of the Stitchwrath。 Overall 8/10 and Jake deserved better。 。。。more

Much creepier than the previous few in that it deals with death in a more tangible way than the others。 While the stories do feel a little rushed， they deliver （especially after the mpreg disaster of the last novel， poor Matpat）。 One thing I find really fascinating about this series is that some of them verge on intensely silly; the time traveling ball pit and rabbit call， while others are really quite ominous and dark in ways that you some people shy away from in youth literature。 Overall， the Much creepier than the previous few in that it deals with death in a more tangible way than the others。 While the stories do feel a little rushed， they deliver （especially after the mpreg disaster of the last novel， poor Matpat）。 One thing I find really fascinating about this series is that some of them verge on intensely silly; the time traveling ball pit and rabbit call， while others are really quite ominous and dark in ways that you some people shy away from in youth literature。 Overall， the difference between the stories is refreshing and enjoyable。 。。。more

Another good book set in the fnaf universe。 I swear this book nearly broke me with the second story。 I was nearly crying at how sad it was。 I will say I was surprised that the audio book had the epilogue included so I had to look up the story on the wiki to see what was going on。 It was good but man what a cliff hanger。

W rankingu ta część raczej nie będzie gdzieś w moim top 3， ale ma dwa naprawdę mocne punkty: opowiadanie The Real Jake i epilog/dodatkowe opowiadanie。 Chociaż w kwestii epilogu zrobi on raczej wrażenie na osobach， które bardziej się orientują w historii kanonicznej i zrozumieją wagę tego， co tu się wydarzyło。The Real Jake to opowiadanie o chłopcu chorującym na nowotwór złośliwy （z tego co zrozumiałam: szyszyniak zarodkowy）。 Nie ma więc tu jakichś brutalnych zwrotów akcji czy nieustającego napięc W rankingu ta część raczej nie będzie gdzieś w moim top 3， ale ma dwa naprawdę mocne punkty: opowiadanie The Real Jake i epilog/dodatkowe opowiadanie。 Chociaż w kwestii epilogu zrobi on raczej wrażenie na osobach， które bardziej się orientują w historii kanonicznej i zrozumieją wagę tego， co tu się wydarzyło。The Real Jake to opowiadanie o chłopcu chorującym na nowotwór złośliwy （z tego co zrozumiałam: szyszyniak zarodkowy）。 Nie ma więc tu jakichś brutalnych zwrotów akcji czy nieustającego napięcia – to teoretycznie po prostu historia o umierającym chłopcu。 Ale naprawdę smutna historia。 Ma jednak pewne mrugnięcie okiem w stronę fanów siedzących w kanonie， plus są jeszcze co najmniej dwa inne powody， dla których należy mieć to opowiadanie szczególnie na uwadze w kontekście samej tej serii książek。W kwestii opowiadań Blackbird i Hide-and-Seek jestem zadowolona， ale może nie w pełni usatysfakcjonowana， chociaż uważam， że Hide-and-Seek było zdecydowanie lepsze niż Blackbird。 Nie do końca jednak zgadzam się z pewną postawą， która jest nam tam przedstawiona， bo nie mogłam się oprzeć wrażeniu， że narracja próbuje narzucić nam myślenie， że cała sytuacja i cały konflikt były stricte winą Toby’ego z czym zupełnie się nie zgadzam。 Wprawdzie coś takiego nie pojawiło się pierwszy raz w tych książkach， ale tu bardzo rzuciło mi się to w oczy。Mam też mieszane uczucia co do innej postawy pokazanej w Blackbird， a właściwie trochę sposobu jego przedstawienia。 Zgadzam się， że czasem złe rzeczy wychodzą nam na korzyść w przyszłości， jednak tu trochę to wybrzmiewa jak pochwała tego， że spotkało nas coś złego ze strony innego człowieka。 Ale jednak doceniam przy tym inną postawę， której wielu agresorów w rzeczywistości nie praktykuje。 Sam pomysł na historię i pewne przesłanie bardzo dobry， ale wykonanie tak 50:50。Gwiazdka więcej za The Real Jake， bo miałam łzy w oczach na koniec。 。。。more

Really enjoyed this book！ Even as an adult I greatly enjoyed it！ My son plays the games all the time and he got all the books for Christmas。 Since he talks about them all the time I decided to give them a try and I am not at all sorry that I did！ This series is not just for kids！ Adults could enjoy it as well。My son has a youtube playlist of all the songs that go along with these stories and he loves reading them while listening to the song that goes with it！

I see this book is highly rated which says it probably wasn't made for my age group。 I was looking for something for my 13-year old grandson。 I'm not sure he will like it either。 I see this book is highly rated which says it probably wasn't made for my age group。 I was looking for something for my 13-year old grandson。 I'm not sure he will like it either。 。。。more

Blackbird: This story reminded me a lot of Dance With Me but with more action， which I really liked。 It’s a story all about guilt and not trying to just push it down， but instead fixing whatever is making you guilty。 There is a part where the main character seeks out a girl he bullied in junior high and apologizes and it’s just a really nice story。The Real Jake:This was a really well written story， but it was really sad。 Also， you pretty much know how it will end if you’ve been keeping up with t Blackbird: This story reminded me a lot of Dance With Me but with more action， which I really liked。 It’s a story all about guilt and not trying to just push it down， but instead fixing whatever is making you guilty。 There is a part where the main character seeks out a girl he bullied in junior high and apologizes and it’s just a really nice story。The Real Jake:This was a really well written story， but it was really sad。 Also， you pretty much know how it will end if you’ve been keeping up with the Stitchwraith stories at the end of each book。 This is the only story with literally nothing to do with FNAF。 No animatronics， no paranormal stuff， and not even a Freddy Fazbear’s restaurant mentioned。 It’s all about Jake， one of the two spirits haunting the Stitchwraith， and his battle with cancer。 It’s very different than all the other stories and while it’s definitely worth reading， it’s very hard to read especially if you know someone who had cancer。Hide and Seek:After six books， we finally get a story about Bonnie！ I liked this story and I liked the characters， especially Tabitha， a girl the main character befriends。 I really enjoyed it until the end， only because it felt like it was out of nowhere。 Other than that， I was really invested in the whole thing and couldn’t put it down。 Great story。Also， I want to talk about the Stitchwraith story。 I don’t even know how to make sense of it， but I know it was incredible。 I was shocked at the end。 I was a bit confused at parts of it but the end is so good。 。。。more
