I tend to like fairly long short stories, so I guess the novelette is about right for me. (Of course, there are good and bad stories at any length; it's just that long bad stories hurt so much . . .)

I found "The Shout" to be an extraordinarily fascinating and enigmatic tale. It was odd that they reprinted it twice; maybe just forgetfulness.

(By the way, if you see some unsigned "anonymous" replies, that's probably me. I tend to be quite absent-minded about such things.)
