Correct me if I’m wrong but is this the author who requested that his remaining unfinished stories never be released?

These are not unfinished stories: they were just published a long, long time ago, way before he gave up his journalist job and decided to be a novelist.

The only copy of his unfinished stories was in a hard drive that was crushed by a steamroller I believe.

No need to believe, it's said in the linked article.

I'm an ex-Reddit user, so I only ever read the headlines and have knee jerk reactions to it.

The stories were published under a different pen name, not unfinished.
