The Twisted Ones: Five Nights at Freddy’s (Five Nights at Freddy’s Graphic Novel #2)

Five Nights at Freddy's Graphic Novel #2

by Christopher Hastings (Adapter), Scott Cawthon, Kira Breed-Wrisley

Freddy is back--with a twist--in this sinister graphic novel adaptation of the bestselling YA novel Five Nights at Freddy's: The Twisted Ones!

It's been a year since the horrific events at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza, and Charlie is just trying to move on. Even with the excitement of a new school and a fresh start, she's still haunted by nightmares of a masked murderer and four gruesome animatronic puppets. Charlie thinks her ordeal is over, but when a series of bodies are discovered near her school bearing wounds that are disturbingly familiar she finds herself drawn back into the world of her father's frightening creations. Something twisted is hunting Charlie, and this time if it finds her, it's not letting her go.

With electrifying art from Eisner Award-nominated artist Claudia Aguirre, and even more horror than ever before, fans won't want to miss this graphic novel adaptation straight from the mind of Five Nights at Freddy's creator Scott Cawthon.

The art was way better in this installation than the first graphic novel… but I found the story all over the place…

4.5⭐️

Just a little food for thought…

“Don’t trust your eyes. Your eyes deceive you every day, filling in the blanks for you in a world of sensory overload. At every moment, your senses are receiving far more information than they can process all at once, and your mind is forced to choose which signals to pay attention to. The things we are familiar with are the things we can-for the most part-ignore.”

Although Charlie, the main character, was EXTREMELY annoying, this still managed to be another successful cozy read for me.

The Creepy/Murderous Animatronic Puppets as well as the storyline had me on the edge of my seat the entire time. AND I LOVED EVERY SECOND OF IT!!!

I probably won’t get any sleep tonight. But that’s fine. Just another excuse to find my next amazing read. 🤭🤭🤭.

THis book is GREAT

[Nick · Rating 4 out of 5]

Controversial but the nightmares are my favorite animatronics to see adapted. The game versions lack a fresh, creative feeling so nearly anything makes me go YEAHHHH THATS A GOOD IDEA.
Anyway, Twisted Ones has a much more developed art style, my favorite so far, and the plot is far less random feeling than the other ones. Charlie actively pursues a supernatural signal and we learn more about the lore!

Erneut leider eine Umsetzung, die zu viel der stimmungsbildenden Beschreibungen und Rückblicke weggelassen hat.

Der Plottwist dieser Reihe hittet jedoch nach wie vor.

Slightly better than the first book.

[Dakota Michael Basinger · Rating 5 out of 5]

Key points I found interesting

-The fact that the cop had the animatronics in his basement screams suspicious behavior.

-Charlie (Charlotte) in previous theories I have read online claiming she is “Circus baby” possessing the body of the animatronic as well as the game lure.

-Charlie’s father Henry whom worked with William Afton to build the animatronics made friendlier animatronics that didn’t kill kids, which is somewhat mentioned in this series. William afton was someone who made animatronics specifically to kill & lure children.

Some of the online theories I read previously on Reddit and YouTube have been truth but some are not. this does make the story a lot better considering some theories are now factual.

Same review as the first graphic novel. Good for recap of the story but novels have way more detail in them. Characters are not very fleshed out in the graphic novels. However, this was the most confusing novel for me to visualize and understand what's happening with all the animatronics so this graphic novel was great with visuals

Incroyable, tout comme le premier. Je suis déjà très fan des jeux vidéos, mais les livres sont vraiment bien également. Je recommande a tous les fans de fnaf

[Jenna · Rating 3 out of 5]

This was the sequel to The Silver Eyes and it was even more slower paced! I swear these pages were coated in molasses the way the story unraveled. It didn't pick up until the final 30 pages and it ended on a cliffhanger. I have no idea how the series plans to progress but I'm reluctant to continue. There's not enough emphasis on the animatronics for my preference and it instead highlights the emotional turmoil of the human characters. Although Circus Baby is on the cover of the sequel, I'm not sure if she can convince me to continue. I love the FNAF franchise, but I'm not sure if I'm the right audience for the books. I'm too much of a prickly pear who reads so avariciously that these books aren't my only exposure to literature. I may be indecisive on my next move, but I may be persuaded with a visit from Circus Baby. Time will tell.

As I wrote in my review for book one, I'm not sure if I can offer a fair review. I don't believe I would have finished reading if this had not been the graphic novel version. This is not my kind of ghost/paranormal story. Although, it is good for anyone who likes stories about killer toys or creepy murdering anthropomorphic characters.

I do recommend that readers who purchase these books, purchase both # 1 and # 2. They tie up like one continuing story (even though there is one year dividing the the two books).

The use of sound waves to manipulate was interesting.

Readers may wonder why I gave four stars on books that I did not enjoy much. I did not believe it fair to give two stars just because it was not my kind of paranormal story, and the artwork was good. Both books had different art-styles. I probably would have given fewer stars (on both books) if these had not been the graphic novel versions...

This book is the sequel to The Silver Eyes, so be sure to read that book prior to reading this one.

A year after the events of The Silver Eyes, Charlie tries to regain some sense of normality as a college student. She attends classes, she makes friends with the other students, and she even goes on dates with John. Sounds wonderful, doesn't it? Except for the inconvenient visions that Charlie now suffers from, likely caused by the trauma from the events from the prior year. People are dying again, and Charlie's visions keep leading her back to Freddy's.

The plot was a tad slower and mismatched compared to that of the previous book. Charlie's visions and the murders felt repetitive. Had the pacing not ramped up in the latter quarter of the book, this would have been a 1-star review.

Loved it, great recreation of the twisted ones novel, effort put in by the artist of this graphic novel retelling, Novel is overall better with the character depths and stroytelling however this did the best a graphic novel can do with a book like the twisted ones, this is definitely for the people that prefer not to read lots of words as in 10s to 100s of pages but it’s really fun to read! 10/10

[Andrew Sammut · Rating 3 out of 5]

Read this one in one sitting and borrowed it from the Birkirkara public library as I did with the first and third books. Just a bit of a fair warning for those who love chapters is that this one does not have any in contrast to the first volume. Despite this, it was a rather quick read (very fast-paced) and did not in any way remind me of "Cujo" by Stephen King or "I who have Never Known Men" by Jacqueline Harpman. This was rather great considering how it revolved around the animatronics and Charlie's PTSD rather than the characters necessarily as did the first book which focussed heavily on world-building and character development. This one deals with animatronics Dave developed which give the impression that they're much scarier and more dangerous than they actually are because of a chip which emanates a high frequency that distorts reality. Dave is William Afton by the way, a guy who used to work with Charlie's father and also the serial killer from the first volume who somehow SPOILER ALERT managed to survive using the suits. The question of why such suits are built and put in a children's establishment is still left unanswered and adds to the horror and lore but it's extremely weird that nobody questions such an invention whereby springlocks are used in order for a suit to be worn by a person or controlled remotely as needed.

This one ended on a rather horrifying note and a cliff-hanger which I was definitely not expecting considering what Charlie goes through. I felt horribly for her considering that all she wanted was to be reunited with her twin brother Sammy. What Dave says is enough to send chills down anyone's spine really and I'm honestly fascinated by how he's not yet dead. It anatomically makes no sense for him to still be breathing but he is indeed an incredible inventor even though he's evil. I wouldn't say that this blew my mind in any way and it's rather simple truth be told but considering that the target audience consists of children, the gore, suspense, and horror are perfect. Charlie being shown dead bodies and finding some of her own is of course frightening but I did not expect her to SPOILER ALERT succumb to a similar fate. The Charlie that we're shown on the last page does not seem genuine and I suspect it's either a costume or a robot which looks much like her. John (Charlie's romantic interest) could not catch a break in this volume and he immediately suspects that something's off. I agree with John but I suppose the answer I'm looking for will be granted to me in the third and final graphic novel. I'm still rather confused as to how these twisted animatronics look like when they're not distorted and curious as to why the regular animatronics were of help in this volume. Perhaps it is just Afton and Charlie's father at war.

I think the art style was better than the first one, but the story definitely felt a little too slow for me. I just wasn't as hooked as I was before. Overall, I enjoyed it, but not as much as the first one.

(3,5/5)

[Emily · Rating 2 out of 5]

The plot was a bit more interesting than the first one, but it still made no sense and left too many questions unanswered. Also the art style was very different, but also not my jam.

[London Vega · Rating 5 out of 5]

I really liked the ,I really like the ending when Charlie was attacking Spring trap and when Charley got trapped in twisted Freddy.

[gawain · Rating 2 out of 5]

They hate to see a brunette with a green jacket winning. Also the springtrap design is cool I guess.

I did think this was more interesting than the last one, and the ending was pretty cool.
