Writing dark, structured fiction with a focus on historical detail and narrative precision. My work tries to focus on tension derived from authentic settings, archival mechanics, and the psychological impact of atmospheric dread rather than cheap shocks or worn-out tropes.
Currently, I am drafting a historical horror novel structured through sequential folios, beginning with an embedded translator's preface and moving chronologically through the text. The project explores the intersection of translation, historical isolation, and quiet terror.
Hello, I am JosephTheSnail (also known as Joseph, or professionally as Joseph Arrington). I am the author of Burnt Luigi and Sammy the Cat, and the creator of the Five Nights at Prototype Fredbear’s fan game series. I also manage a secondary YouTube channel, JTS, where I produce structured content and original shows such as Joseph’s World.
I use this platform to share a curated selection of my work, including both well-known and lesser-known stories, as well as pieces that have been reposted or translated. I publish selectively based on what best fits this platform. While my work may not appeal to all audiences, I hope readers can find something they enjoy.
Not all of my work is available here. Additional stories can be found on the Spiral Nightmares site hosted by Miraheze, where requests may be submitted. My focus here is primarily on original works; retakes, and certain fanfiction are generally not accepted.
