That's a short story.
i was tempted to nominate some Lovecraft, but they're all interconnected like most of Mr King's works
I'll nominate Inifinite Jest by David Foster Wallace as I can't believe it hasn't been done yet! One of my all time favorite books.
thank you my dear friends!
interconnected doesn't render them ineligible. Nominate something, and we'll see.
E.A.Poe, on the other hand, much as I love him, never wrote anything long enough to be a novel (unless I missed something)

bears are back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket 1883.thank you my dear friends!

E.A.Poe, on the other hand, much as I love him, never wrote anything long enough to be a novel (unless I missed something)
the trouble with H.P. Lovecraft tales is that a lot of them now are packaged as for example At The Mountains of Madness and other novels and i have virtually all of his tales in two hardback anthologies
Lovecraft never really wrote a novel, only novellas.
yes but they're now being marketed as novels
Nominating Heart-Shaped Box by Joe Hill.
A hound will die for you, but never lie to you. And he'll look you straight in the face.
My Collection
I got told by the editor of Hard Case Crime that a novel is (at least very close to) 50,000 words. If they do sell them as lone books, they're still not novels. If series books are not allowed in the contest, then I don't believe shorter works should be considered for this contest.
Maybe we just should have done top authors.
Picture of Dorian Gray is a good novel, but not a great one; Oscar Wilde just did such memorable work with other forms. Hound of the Baskervilles is not IMO the really greatest Holmes story, though I'd rate it, too, "good" as a novel. (Or a novella.)
Only two examples of a possible trend in some of these nominations.
Just sayin'.
I didn't expect all the complications.
A narrative of Arthur Gorden Pym is also a novella.
Sloth Love Chunk
With 176 pages & quoted many places as Poe's only novel I THINK IT'S A NOVEL.
wiki says it's a novel
whenever it says so, we accept the book, however long or short it seems to us
so, is Arthur Gordon Pym nominated?

dear friends, thank you for the get-well wishes! bears immediately felt better! Now back to London, and updating:

Seconding Pym and nominating Midnight's Children.
Four Past Midnight is 763 pages long. That is an average of 190 pages per novella. I THINK THEY ARE ALL NOVELS. I nominate The Langoliers.With 176 pages & quoted many places as Poe's only novel I THINK IT'S A NOVEL.

wiki says it's a novella. Sorry Brownings, I love it too.

Definitely a novella, while technically long enough to be a novel. It's not just the length but also author intent. King has always referred to these stories as novellas.
