It looks like Elevation is going to be 160 pages long, yet on the cover it says "A Novel." Okay, fair enough.
But it got me to wondering, since many of what King calls 'novellas' can run more than 200 pages (The Langoliers ~240, The Library Policeman ~200, so on and so forth), is this being called a novel simply because it's being published alone? Or is it because there's no real market for a "novella" in the USA?
I'm just curious because I bought Blockade Billy as a hardcover with that other short story Morality and both were included in Bazaar of Bad Dreams.
Is that going to be the case with Elevation as well?
