Recs if you like The Overcoat...

Overlooked, lesser known classics from all over the world and of many genres.

This list also exists as a book club on Fable under the same name.

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.

These are about 100 pages (or less)! Will depend on how it's printed, but basically: YOU'LL FLY THROUGH THESE! ✈️

George Saunders' ENG 650 syllabus at Syracuse University. Starting with Turgenev's The Singers and finishing with Chekhov's In the Ravine. "This class is intended not as a survey of the Russian short story, but rather as a chance to read (very closely) a selected number of great stories from that tradition, with an eye to craft... What we really want to accomplish is to improve your fiction." Feel free to link your weekly 3-5 page reflection per story in the comments!
