What it feels like
This collection of three sinister novellas delivers a brisk, dread-soaked reading experience where emotional vulnerability is just as terrifying as the monsters lurking in the shadows. The mood shifts seamlessly between the heartbreaking melancholy of a sick child yearning for health and the tense, unforgiving atmosphere of characters chased by their own past transgressions. The prose is direct and suspenseful, pulling the reader through a gauntlet of guilt, family dysfunction, and desperate bids for approval that inevitably end in horrifying consequences. It is a perfect fit for young adult horror fans who crave unsettling, bite-sized ghost stories where the ghosts of the past take on a terrifying, monstrous life of their own.

About the book
To avoid confronting an ugly truth, Nole falls prey to a monster that punishes past transgressions. Growing weaker by the day, nine-year-old Jake looks back on the time before he was sick, imagining life as if he were well again. And, forever desperate to prove his worth to his arrogant brother and distant father, Toby chases victory at an arcade game with horrifying consequences. But in the unpredictable world of Five Nights at Freddy's, sometimes the past can take on a life of its own.
In this sixth volume, Five Nights at Freddy's creator Scott Cawthon spins three sinister novella-length stories from different corners of his series' canon, featuring cover art from fan-favorite artist LadyFiszi.
