Where do I go after Kafka? I've read all of his works and I'm wondering where I could go from here.

Reread The Castle and imagine Jim Carrey as the protagonist.
Do you seriously not have something you're interested in? And you don't have a backlog? How are you here

I'd say the real kin of Kafka are Heinrich von Kleist, Robert Walser, and Thomas Bernhard.
If you haven't already, you should read Borges. His short stories are very influenced by Kafka's and have a similar irreality to them.
He's the only short story writer I rate more highly than Kafka.
Have you read his diaries/letters?
Read The Woman in the Dunes
