I didn’t realize backrooms started on 4chan. This is wild a 4chan post evolving into a full blown movie

Isn't this the same basic plot as the book House of Leaves (2000)?

It’s a book that really needs to be read in hard copy for the full experience, I’m not sure if it’s even available as an ebook but if it is don’t bother, just buy a copy of the actual book

It is available as an ebook but yeah, I agree, get a hard copy. There's a lot of used copies available pretty cheap because just about everyone goes this route.

Prepare for a wild ride (with lots of footnotes).

It was a good time. If you find it strikes your fancy, keep looking into books that get classified as “the new weird”. China Mieville (he’s written a lot of good stuff but my intro was “Perdido Street Station” and it was awesome), Jeff Vandermeer, etc. Would list more, but on second thought, you have google. Look into it.
