Surviving The Backrooms

Background Information

Oh! Uh, hi!

16:49 June 2nd, 2026

I didn't think you'd find me here! I'm Joseph Astraeus Keshet. The real one!

I just wanted to give some context and background information. First order of business!

Who am I?

Like I said, I'm Joseph Astraeus Keshet. I use He/They pronouns. I'm a college student and a writer. I'm currently working on a YA novel, but I thought I'd make this site on the side, because I am a bit of a Backrooms nerd. I'll note, the movie did re-spark my interest.

If you want to read about my other stories, check out my AO3!

Second order of business!

Where do I get my photos?

I get my photos from around the wiki pages and fandom! If you click each image, it will take you to where I sourced it! I recommend you read the original pages!

The only one you can't click is the background image, which you can find here!

Third order of business!

Why is this page laid out so weirdly?

This page is primarily made for computers! If you are on mobile, it should still work and look nice, but there may be some issues. I am making the site with both in mind, but I am focused on computer viewing, so use your computer for the best experience.

Final order of business!

Posts layout!

I just want to note that the posts will always be ordered from the oldest first. Scroll down to the bottom of the site to see the oldest posts and read the story in order!

Goodbye!

As the header says, that's all for now! TTFN! Ta-Ta For Now! Go, read the posts! Or look at some other sites! Have a great day!

This page is made with some phone compatibility in mind. However, there will still be some issues on mobile web browsers, primarily with the background image. For the best experience, use desktop.
