Five Nights at Freddy's fans have multiple new book releases to look forward to in the coming weeks. A brand-new series of "interactive novels" kicks off on September 3 with Five Nights at Freddy's: The Week Before. Volume 5 in the Fazbear Frights graphic novel collection also releases the same day. Perhaps the most exciting upcoming FNAF book is the box set collecting the Tales from the Pizzaplex horror-mystery novels. Five Nights at Freddy's: Takes from the Pizzaplex Box Set Collection, the interactive novels, and the new Fazbear Frights graphic novel are available to order at Amazon. The books join an expansive lineup of novels and graphic novels co-authored by Five Nights at Freddy's creator Scott Cawthon.
If there's a FNAF fan on your shopping list this holiday, the Tales from the Pizzaplex anthology series could make for a great gift. Releasing November 12, this collection contains eight horror-mystery novels and a slipcase display box. Each novel is roughly 250 pages and is recommended for readers ages 12 and up. The novels were published between July 2022 and October 2023. All told, the series clocks in at 2,000 pages.
Amazon is taking preorders for $88, which breaks down to $11 per novel. With Amazon's preorder price guarantee, you'll get the best price offered between the time you order and release. You won't be charged until your order ships.

For a similar FNAF reading experience, check out Fazbear Frights, a 12-book series of novella-length horror stories. You can pick up the first four books in a set for $22, the first eight books for $36, or the full 12-book collection for $65.
The interactive novel series technically started already, as Scholastic released a free ebook titled VIP on August 3. VIP serves as "No. 0" in the series, so you can give it a read before you decide if the new Choose Your Own Adventure-style storytelling format is for you.
Releasing on September 3 and priced at $9.74 (was $13), Five Nights at Freddy's: The Week Before takes place before the events of the very first Five Nights at Freddy's game. As the security guard of Freddy Fazbear's Pizza, you have several nights in which to survive against Freddy, Chica, Bonnie, and Foxy, and there are over 25 different endings in this book. You can even choose to read with a higher difficulty setting, for a unique experience where every turn of the page could be your last.
The next interactive novel, Five Nights at Freddy's: Return to the Pit, will be available starting December 24 and puts you in the shoes of Oswald. After using the ball pit at Jeff's Pizza to travel back in time to 1985, you've accidentally brought a sadistic animatronic menace back into the present, and you'll need to find a way to escape its murderous clutches. This book also has 25 different endings and two difficulty settings, if you're up for the challenge.
Return to the Pit is a retelling of the first book in the Fazbear Frights series. It will also be familiar to those who played Five Nights at Freddy's: Into the Pit, the recently released retro-infused adventure game developed by Mega Cat Studios.
If you'd prefer some pictures with your Five Nights at Freddy's stories, the Fazbear Frights graphic novel adaptation series continues on September 3 with Volume 5. Preorders are available now for paperback ($11.24, was $15) and hardcover copies ($25).
Like the video game source material, these graphic novels tell stories of being careful what you wish for, the challenges of childhood, and having to deal with fast food mascots looking to do a murder.
We've included links to all five hardcover collections in the Fazbear Frights series below. A couple of the hardcover editions are the same price as the paperback versions, but all five are available in paperback, too.
As mentioned above, Fazbear Frights was originally a series of novella-length stories. You don't need to read them to enjoy the graphic novels, though.

A Five Nights at Freddy's personal library wouldn't be complete without the original graphic novels released shortly after the game far to find the original graphic novels released shortly after the game released a decade ago.
Set 10 years after a series of horrific murders at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza, the trilogy details how several friends reunite and visit the seemingly abandoned fast food joint. After they discover a way inside, they realize that things are not as they used to be and they quickly run afoul of the infamous mascots inside.
There are two box sets to choose from, both of which are available for roughly $25. The set was re-released in 2023--and this is probably the one most fans would want to read today--but the 2018 version arguably has a cooler box design and comes with a poster, too.
Multiple other Five Nights at Freddy's books exploring the franchise's world and characters are available, and we've listed those below, too.
The film adaptation of Five Nights at Freddy's released on Blu-ray last December, but if you're a fan of steelbook cases, you can preorder an exclusive 4K Blu-ray edition of the film at Walmart for $30. Five Nights at Freddy's Limited Edition Steelbook releases October 8. In addition to the 4K Blu-ray disc, you'll also get standard 1080p Blu-ray and digital copies of the hit film.
