A novella. It typically has a more complex plot than a short story but is not as long and involved as a full - length novel.

Another form shorter than a novel is the vignette. It's like a brief snapshot of a moment, a character, or a place. It doesn't have the complexity or length of a novel but can be very evocative.

A long - form poem collection might be one. If we consider a book to be a very long work with many chapters and a large amount of text, and a novel as a fictional story of a certain length, a collection of long - form poems can be shorter than a book but still longer than a novel, especially if the poems are quite lengthy and there are a good number of them.
Well, a series of interconnected novels or a literary cycle can be longer than a single novel. These involve multiple books that are related and build on a common theme or characters.

They share with flash fiction the ability to convey a complete idea or story in a relatively concise manner compared to a full - length novel.
Not really. Flash fiction is more about telling a short story in a concise way, while poetry typically focuses on using language in a more rhythmic and evocative manner.
