What really happened to Charlie? It's the question that John can't seem to shake, along with the nightmares of Charlie's seeming death and miraculous reappearance. John just wants to forget the whole terrifying saga of Freddy Fazbear's Pizza, but the past isn't so easily buried.

Meanwhile, there's a new animatronic pizzeria opening in Hurricane, along with a new rash of kidnappings that feel all too familiar. Bound together by their childhood loss, John reluctantly teams up with Jessica, Marla, and Carlton to solve the case and find the missing children. Along the way, they'll unravel the twisted mystery of what really happened to Charlie, and the haunting legacy of her father's creations.

Unlike many fans, I enjoyed the first two books thoroughly, and this was no exception. It couldn't stop reading, too scared to keep going, but too excited to stop. It came to a point where I was about to fall asleep at 3:26 AM, but I was too terrified because it was the witching hour AND the middle of the night shift. Honestly, this videogame will always hold a place in my heart, and I can't wait to reread this book to finally solve this mystery.

A B-Novel That Needed a Little Room to Grow

Reviewed in the United States on June 12, 2019

Verified Purchase

The past isn’t easy to escape. Charlie died, John was there when it happened, but a woman with her face showed up at the dinner days later. He’s certain it wasn’t her no matter how the rest of their friends insist. Some things aren’t meant to be forgotten. There’s a new pizzeria in Hurricane, Circus Baby’s Pizza. Kids are disappearing again. Just like ten years ago. Strange things are happening, Charlie isn’t herself and nothing she’s doing or saying adds up. Jessica doesn’t want to believe John, but what if he’s right? Carlton, Jessica, Marla, and John have a few more answers to find if they want to lay the past to rest.

I have mixed feelings on this one. Five Nights at Freddy’s: The Fourth Closet is meant to be the final book in the trilogy started back in The Sliver Eyes. There are a number of good moments here, places where things just click and they work really well. But clunky scenes and spots where things just don’t feel solid are also interspersed throughout. There’s been this B movie feel to the books so far. Things haven’t needed to makes absolute sense because it’s been fun enough to make up for it, there’s only so serious you can get with haunted animatronics after all. The Fourth Closet tries to be a more dramatic book, so a lot of the B movie vibes don’t carry as well.

Part of this is down to how rushed the various story lines can feel. We go from the question of if the new woman was Charlie to the reveal of her being an antagonist in what feels like no time at all. There’s a lot early on of John’s life falling apart due after Charlie’s death that drags on for a couple chapters, but doesn’t really do anything once the story gets rolling. There’s a lot that feels like it should have been introduced earlier and allowed to build longer for better impact. A lot of things feel like they should have been given more weight within the story but where cut short to rush on to the next thing.

That’s sort of the major thing for me on this one. When The Fourth Closet lets characters be the focus within the plot it can work really, really well. There’s a bit where resident fashion girl, Jessica, is trapped by the antagonists and has to keep safe and try and figure out what they’re doing. The reader gets to see her forcing herself to think on other things to stay calm, we get to see her being competent and focused. Her confrontation with one of the animatronics is one of my favorite parts of the book. Another character, Carlton, gets a lot of really good lines that reflect his previous funny man characterization. But then he also gets a really nice character arc that picks up his feelings of having failed his best friend from The Silver Eyes. Even Charlie and Circus Baby get a couple of nice moments, though I wish there had been more lead up to those moments.

I do feel like John was the major weak point in the character work though. Any empathy for Circus Baby sort of hinges on the reader being familiar with her from the games’ lore, she really needed that lead up as more than just another monster. But that’s sort of expected at this point, the Five Nights at Freddy’s novels are an alternate universe to the games but still pull heavily from them. John doesn’t really have that excuse. He’s billed as the protagonist of this novel, but then he doesn’t really do anything that any of the other characters couldn’t have. Most of what he does do is bone headed and could have been easily worked around. He’s the not love interest who seems desperate to be in love with the idea of Charlie rather than the character herself. The other characters have their own lives going on outside of the plot, things that happen outside of undead murderers and possessed robots. John doesn’t have that and is a much weaker character for it. He needed something outside of his feelings regarding Charlie to work.

I feel like that’s as far as I can go without delving into major spoilers. In a lot of ways, I feel like The Fourth Closet should have been broken up into two books and more time given to both the new batch of missing kids and Charlie and not Charlie. It’s very wanting in more room to spread out and show the best of itself. There are some legitimately tense scenes here that I really enjoyed. There are some emotional scenes that are good, but that could have been so much more if only we had more time to process them. There’s the big reveal that could have been so awesome, if it had been built up better or if characters were given time to react to it and themselves process it. It’s fun, but flawed in serious ways, which nets Five Nights at Freddy’s: The Fourth Closet a three out of five. I’d revisit this series again if another book was released.

Wait WHAT......

Reviewed in the United States on July 25, 2018

So don't get me wrong I love fnaf but for some reason I just don't understand this book I've been rereading it over and over and still can't quite grasp the meaning or the reason. I understand the first book and its plot lines but the second book was tricky. If seemed rushed or like a chunk was missing. Like the creatures, they are undoubtedly evil seeing as they are the twisted ones but what I just don't get is how Charlie survives the suit. Then they throw in the ties to sister location In this book with the story line and the secret hints. What's even more confusing is the constant jump from the "fake Charlie" and the "real Charlie" like having Ella inside her? Am I missing something because seriously is this "real" Charlie a human or a spirit or a robot?at the end of the book when Charlie uses the skeleton to stab both of them, and then John sees them what is it that he sees because the book says a face he "recognizes" so is this Charlie or the imposter? Also why can't William afton just die early and the whole thing be sealed. If Charlie were really a robot you would think someone who find out right? Seeing as this is most likely the end of the series I would seriously like an explanation! Also matpat and game theory were a great help throughout my mentally racking process of figuring this out, so respect to him. Scott I love your game and books but maybe come out with an article explaining EVERYTHING that would be a great help to my understanding.

One for the fans

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 8, 2018

Verified Purchase

This final instalment of the FNAF novel series is certainly one for the fans. If you haven't read the previous two instalments, there is little point in picking up this one. It continues directly from where The Twisted Ones left off and won't make a lick of sense if you haven't read it. It should also be noted that this book is a horror story and does contain a couple of violent and gory scenes. You have been warned.

Even if you have been following the series so far, this book probably does not give you the closure that you're hoping for. While it does wrap up a couple of plot threads, including an interesting late stage twist for Charlie, it still doesn't feel final. Perhaps Cawthorn does intend to take this series further in the series or, perhaps like the games, it is deliberately left open-ended so that fans can deliberate over its meaning. At this stage, it's difficult to say.

However, as a novel and potential end to a trilogy, this did feel pretty weak. Much like with The Twisted Ones, the story starts off quite easy to follow and loses its way in the final act. The early stage of the story sets itself up well in the mystery surrounding Charlie's impossible survival and the appearance of another Freddy Fasbear-style restaurant, which fans of the games will recognise as the Sister Location.

Yet the second half of the story becomes very muddy in terms of plot. The characters split into two groups with half heading to Circus Baby's Pizza on a rescue mission and the rest learning the truth about Charlie's past. The former of these forms the more interesting plots. Much like in the first books, this leads to some tense and exciting sequences as the characters face off with the likes of Funtime Freddy and the Mangle. The latter plot is just a little weak. At this stage, it was a little easy to see the twist coming, even though it severely muddied some of the previously established continuity.

The climax did feel pretty final but also oddly similar to that of The Twisted Ones. Yet it did still leave a few threads hanging that could easily form the basis of a fourth book. As I previously noted, not all questions are answered in this story and The Fourth Closet raises some more of its own that I have a sneaking suspicion will never be answered.

In terms of plot, this book is really just more of the same. While Charlie did learn a lot more about herself, this occurs very late in the story and she isn't given the time to internalise and come to terms with what she discovers. The book also introduces a new villain who has strong ties with Charlie, though the connection is quite confusing in places and never fully explained.

Yet the one thing that this book did a good job of is reuniting the former cast. This book brings back a fair few of the old characters, including Carlton and Marla, and does give them a lot to do in this story. This forms some pretty decent development for Carlton in particular, as it does allow him chance to confront the guilt that he still feels for Michael's kidnapping.

Anyhow, this book is just more of the same. It will certainly appeal to fans of the earlier books and FNAF lore, but if you don't fall into these categories you can probably give it a miss.

Terrible production quality.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 1, 2018

Verified Purchase

This review does not reflect the written contents of this book, but rather the physical production quality.

Upon intially receiving this book, I placed it on my bookshelf with the other two of its series - only to notice it was slightly bigger than its predecessors. This itself isn’t a horrific thing, but was the first thing to tip me that something was off.
Next I opened the pages to find terrible wrinkling close to the spine, causing the book to make a terrible crinkling noise whenever a page was turned or the book was moved. I had to force the pages open and this caused the spine to become damaged within minutes of me receiving this book.
I asked for a replacement, hoping that this was only a defect, yet the copy I just received has the exact same flaws.
I don’t understand why there’d be a sudden change in quality, they’re still being published by Scholastic - and from what I’ve seen in the past, they generally produce rather good quality books.
The paper is cheaper, almost a stark white in comparison to the previous books more sepia tone. It’s now more comparable with printer paper, rigid and smooth. My only guess is that they have changed printers, but that’s no excuse for such a shoddy product. I have been looking forward to reading this book, and the quality has made it almost impossible. eBook it shall be, then.

Wow it’s so good but sad

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 17, 2020

Verified Purchase

This book is a page turner and you simply can’t put it down once you get reading.
I mainly want to write a review on the fact that the book is very exciting, and even though it has a good ending I found it heartbreakingly sad, and I’m searching YouTube for a search of hope that it’s false. :(
The reason I gave it 4 stars and not 5 is because it’s given me a lump in my throat from sadness >:(

Furthermore, there will be no more books in the series. Only fazbear frights.

Interesting end...

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 25, 2018

Verified Purchase

This might be the first book I’ve read in a while that read like an ending... neither satisfying nor unsatisfying. Just... an ending. I wasn’t gripped throughout this one like I was with the other books, but I did find it interesting getting answers for certain things, and seeing the animatronics from the other games come to life in the book... I think some theorists will be happy with this end though, as it confirms things they’ve been thinking - exciting.
