why are there all these backslashes in the JSON?

this should just be an array of objects

you are turning the file contents into an object, why are you not adding the data to this object?
| fs.readFile(__dirname + "/data/posts.json", function (error, file) { | ||
| const parsedFile = JSON.parse(file); | ||
| var storage = []; | ||
| storage.push(file.toString()); |

why push the entire file as a string into the array?
| const parsedFile = JSON.parse(file); | ||
| var storage = []; | ||
| storage.push(file.toString()); | ||
| storage.push({ [Date.now()]: req.fields["blogpost"] }) |

not you have a array that contains a string representation of an array and another object. Not what you'd want.
| var storage = []; | ||
| storage.push(file.toString()); | ||
| storage.push({ [Date.now()]: req.fields["blogpost"] }) | ||
| fs.writeFile("./data/posts.json", JSON.stringify(storage), function (error) { |

When you stringify this, you end up with the crazy contents in your file.
Make sure you have the correct object structure before writing it back into the file.

Please fix the JSON parsing and also complete the Handlebars part.
