K.M Shea has a ton!
Just finished Qwerty by Barbara Avon. It was short, but had impact.
I heard Scythe is great! It’s on my list! Also I read Goblins & Snowflakes and absolutely loved it!
@Jules Ursula le gain books are short and can be read as stand alone books
I don’t think I’ve come across many fantasy novels that short. I would however suggest an awesome stand alone that would be relatively short at ~400 pages by Naomi Novik called uprooted, or Neil Gaimans Neverhwere, think that was pretty short at about 300 pages
The Rats by James Herbert, under 200 pages long
Weirdstone of Brisingamen. Still love that book. Day of the triffids is also very good for a quick read.
