Some of these are definitely novels.

I don't normally dig list threads, but this one I like.

Conrad has a bunch of novellas that are less o_O than Heart of Darkness, like The Secret Sharer and Youth.

Also, Cain's The Postman Always Rings Twice and Double Indemnity.

Most of Jim Thompson's novels are short enough to be considered novellas, if you're going by word count.

Ethan Canin - Batorsag and Szerelem is my absolute favourite.

Melville's "Bartelby the Scrivener"
