Five Nights at Freddy's: Tales from the Pizzaplex Graphic Novel Collection Vol. 1 (Five Nights at Freddy's Graphic Novels)

If you're looking for some spine-chilling horror, this is a great book for you. TALES FROM THE PIZZAPLEX VOL 1 features three horrific short stories from the Five Nights at Freddy's world in graphic book format. In the first tale, Maya wants to have the best birthday party ever where she's the center of attention instead if the small backyard one that her parents throw every year. But they always say be careful what you wish for, especially if it involves breaking the rules. In the second one, Aiden and Jace are two friends who decide to take a detour through the tube maze after scaring some kids but keep running into HAPPS, the cleaning robot. But they take their fun too far and HAPPS turns against them. The last one follows Grady, a worker who tests the attractions for safety. Even though he knows he will struggle to get through the small space, he attempts them anyway for the safety of the children. To make things worse, he has horrible coworkers.

The illustrations don't skimp out on blood when it's required, so this book isn't for the squeamish, but I love how detailed they are. It's perfect for those who like dark twisted horror, like I do. It reminds me of Tales of the Crypt in a way and I feel like the short story format makes it easier to read with three times the fun. I love the illustrations and how they hold true to the style we're used to seeing from the FNAF universe. I admit, I didn't expect these to be as twisted as they were, but to me that makes them all the better. My favorite was the second one, but that's because of HAPPS. The third one was the scariest though.


Final Verdict: I would recommend this to those aged 12 and older who enjoy horror and for those who don't suffer from nightmares easily. It's a perfect addition to a FNAF fan's library. The graphic book format made the plot feel so much more immersive because it feels like you're watching a movie play out. I look forward to enjoying more stories like this from the FNAF universe.
