"Technically a novella"

The first 90% of the lede makes it clear that this is indeed a novella without any doubt. Then we reach the final sentence which reads:

It is King's shortest novel to date at 127 pages, which makes it technically a novella.

Now, it's unclear whether this final (uncited) assertion is merely confused or just an outright contradiction, but let me go ahead and suggest that, when the rest of the lede is happy with it being categorized as a novella, then let it simply stand as a novella. There is no need for this dancing around with "shortest novel" and "technically a novella."

If there is, after all, some doubt, this can be mentioned, with citations. Until such reasonable doubt arises, I shall attempt to make the lede clearer by removing the final hedge.

King's official site calls it a short novel and has it listed under novels: https://stephenking.com/works/novel/cycle-of-the-werewolf.html Jmj713 (talk) 13:21, 11 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

If you're going to revert it, you should add the citation. Cryptarch (talk) 22:53, 11 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

References

We need to find a reference on the goal of the book (the article says that it is 'geared towards short story enthusiasts') as well as one on King's supposed admission about changing up the lunar cycle. I didn't see anything on HorrorKing or King's official site. I did get a reference on the original calendar, though. -Elizabennet | talk 17:10, 20 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
