Early drafts of short horror and weird tales by Cameron Suey for your criticism and feedback. Writing, and writing about writing, horror, and other influences.

If you’re new here, might I suggest the following finished stories:

“Dust” 

“East”

“One (Illustrated)”

“The Gift”

“Zero” 

Once upon a time, I posted scraps of fiction on 4chan’s /x/ board. It was not a place for true names, so I took the pseudonym “Josef K.” as an homage to better writers, and an acknowledgement of the pastiche I was writing. The brutal honesty of 4chan was critical in me finding my own voice, and I’ll always be grateful to and a little terrified of them. There’s no more need for the pen name, but this name of this site still bears the mark. My name is Cameron Suey, and welcome.

Poke around, and here you’ll find my rough drafts and scraps for your feedback and savage criticism. Some stories will be behind a password gate, so that I can continue to discuss and get feedback, as well seek publication in dead tree journals once I edit them into a final draft. Other early drafts are no longer available for the time being. I’d love to share the password for the pieces I’m editing with you if you’re willing to give me feedback, just ask.

Please take a look, and if you find something you like, something that angers or frustrates you, or anything that provokes an emotional response of any sort, desired or otherwise, let me know. Open criticism and sincere feedback helps me become a better writer.

I am always interested in discussing contract work, collaborations, or any other ideas. You can follow me on twitter, or contact me here.
