Story
Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found. Set in Hurricane, Utah, a young woman named Charlotte reunites with her childhood friends on the anniversary of the tragedy that ripped their town apart. It’s been exactly ten years since the murders at Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza, and Charlotte, who goes by the name Charlie, has spent the last ten years trying to forget. Her father had owned Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza, and had built its four adult-sized animatronic animals. After meeting up with her friends, curiosity leads them back to the old pizza place, and they find it hidden, but still standing. They discover a way inside, but things are not as they used to be: the four mascots that delighted and entertained them as children have changed. The animatronic animals have a dark secret, and a murderous agenda. They have to summon all their wits to survive the onslaught of Freddy Fazbear, Bonnie, Chica, and Foxy.
Background
On December 11, 2015, Cawthon posted a teaser to his website for an upcoming untitled novel. According to him, the novel was written "alongside a professional writer for the last ten months" and "expands the mythos", revealing "a human element never before seen in the games". It was supposed to be available for Amazon Kindle on December 22, 2015, but because of an error in Amazon's system, it was released on December 17, 2015. It will be in stores in hardcover sometime around 2016.[1][2] On December 15, 2015, Cawthon revealed the title of the book.[3]
Reception
Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found.The book was critically panned. After receiving some negative reviews from fans, with claims of the book lacking any significant connection to the games' lore, Cawthon replied that:
The games and the books should be considered to be separate continuities, even if they do share many familiar elements. So yes, the book is canon, just as the games are. That doesn't mean that they are intended to fit together like two puzzle pieces. [...] The book is a re-imagining of the Five Nights at Freddy's story, and if you go into it with that mindset, I think you will really enjoy it.
