Solid 3.3!
I will say, the cover art for this one is a solid D-tier. I suppose there wasn't a whole lot to go off of for this set of stories, but still! Every other cover is so much cooler! This one's kind of meh. /lh
Didn't like the first story. The main character was an absolute simp lol. It was kind of annoying reading some of the thoughts he had. The general idea for the actual horror part was really interesting, though I wouldn't have minded a bit more. I just wish there had been a clearer explanation for what exactly happened at the ending. 2/5 stars.
The second one was good! The main character was interesting, and although he was a total jerk, you could still sympathize with him, in a weird way. The ending didn't make a whole lot of sense in my opinion. 3/5.
The third story was really good! It was interesting, the characters were well-written, it had great build-up, and the ending was tragic. It also features an actual Freddy Fazbear's Pizza as the primary location for the story. A great one to end the series on! (discounting the 12th, non-canon book.) 5/5.
The FNaF series has always had a special place in my heart, and though I'm not as into it as I used to be, reading these stories has been really fun. (Also I love having all eleven lined up neatly on my bookshelf :D)

This would have scared the bejesus out of me when I was the appropriate age for this book.
Narrator on audiobook was easy listening and had good enough character voices

Got to say, this is the worst book in this series. It definitely went out on a whimper for me. The first two stories were just not good, unlikable characters, confusing story and a plain unentertaining narrative. But the third was pretty alright.
All things considered, as much as I hate to say it, I think this series should have been 10 books.

4.75 out of 5 stars.
This book was harrowing in certain aspects.
Prankster:
I genuinely felt bad for the characters in this one. Two of them at the very least. I won't lie, the titular prankster deserved the bad things that came his way (maybe not to the degree the story took his punishment, but something was deserved). I was a little confused by it's ending, because I was expecting something along the lines of Help Wanted (with a character with a name similar to Jeremy building a VR game, it felt like it fit). But what we got instead was Saw Junior.
Kids at Play:
This short story was disturbing. The main character of this one was a difficult one to place - there were moments when I agreed with some of his statements about his parents, and other times where I thought he was being a spoilt brat. But when his dark plot started, that was it. I was waiting for the end to come for him. It was super easy to hate him after a certain part of that story, and the gruesome way he gets his punishment was very well-written. It created such a vivid, gorey visual.
Find Player Two:
The final short story had me on edge throughout. I really liked the main character of this one, and felt truly bad for her. She suffered from survivor's guilt, and really didn't need to put herself through all the things she went through in this story. I do question why certain parts happened (or didn't happen, as the case was without spoilers), and her "punishment" at the end was tragic.
The Stitch-Wraith:
