Scott Cawthon created the Five Nights at Freddy’s (FNAF) video game series and expanded it into a massive book franchise. The original novel trilogy (The Silver Eyes, The Twisted Ones, The Fourth Closet) tells a connected horror story set around the haunted Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza restaurant and its deadly animatronic characters. These books established the lore that underpins the entire franchise.

The Fazbear Frights series, with seventeen entries starting in 2019, collects horror short stories set in the FNAF universe. Tales from the Pizzaplex followed with nine more volumes. Cawthon has also overseen graphic novel adaptations, interactive novels, and guidebooks including the Freddy Files and Survival Logbook. The franchise was adapted into a feature film in 2023, with an official movie novelization. Cawthon typically co-authors the books with other writers, and the series continues to expand with new entries.
