Ive been reading short stories by Jack London, H.P. Lovecraft, Edgar Allen Poe (my hero), Sheila Finch, and short stories from online publications and in anthology books.

No love lost for novels, but short stories do not get the attention they deserve!

My Favorite short story ‘Animal Farm’ by George Orwell. … My favorite collection ‘Eleven Stories’ by Leo Tolstoy.

I would say Animal Farm gets to be called a novel or at the very least a novella.
