i agree short horror stories are far better ..

the reason being is that most authors only have a small idea.

the desperate attempt to flesh it out into a novel sized piece usually fails miserably.

Clive Barker .. perfect example. His short stories are menacing, hard hitting.
His novels are a meandering mess .. and they always fizzle out in the end.
