I’ve heard tradpub folks say, “Short story collections don’t sell.” I’m wondering how accurate that is. Sounds like maybe consumer confidence is low.

It's more of a connected anthology I suppose, but those can still be good.

Depends on the author, depends on the genre. Short stories give a different brain hit than a novel. It’s more suited to horror, IMO. A horror short and a horror novel both provide the same sense of hopeless despair.

People read a novel because they want to experience the arc and the emotion typically provided by the genre; for romance, love, for thrillers action overcoming impossible odds, for mystery the feeling of unraveling and outsmarting or being outsmarted.
