Horror is fundamentally about creating and maintaining suspense, which is easier to do in the short story format. I imagine more novels get published because it's what publishers want to push out at airport bookstores and in imitation of Stephen King. Even then masters of horror fiction are still very hit or miss, it's easier to forgive a bad short story than a novel.

I'm enjoying There is a Graveyard that Dwells in Man collected by David Tibet, he has great taste in weird fiction. I'm not usually a Ligotti fan because of his affected imitation of the great HP Lovecraft, but it did manage to include the second story of his I've actually enjoyed: The Little People.
