Recs if you like Uncanny and Improbable Events (Green Ideas)...

Short, quick reads that still pack a punch and wake you from your numb slumber

A novel is a prose work typically above 40k words, though many fall between 60-100k. Anything between roughly 17k and 40k words is generally considered a novella, while works between about 7k and 17k words are classified as novelettes, with some flexibility ~

TL;DR - short stories with 7k-17k words. Get out of that slump.
