320 pages (almost 100,000 words) is short? I need to re-calibrate. I know I'm a slow reader but anything that I can't finish in a day (about 10,000 words) is "long" for me.

I agree, one of my ALL TIME favorite books but the second half took me weeks to get through.

320 pages would not be short fiction. Short fiction is going to be a novella or a short story. Novellas tend to cap out around 150 pages depending on the definition, and many definitions are much shorter (50-100 pages).

Just the first story, Fiat Homo! If anyone wants to stop there I won’t judge
