Goodreads has it wrong. It's not a novel, it's a short story. Smith worked in shorter lengths, as well as writing fiction and creating sculpture.

There seems to be a complete set of the stories available (legally) online here: http://www.eldritchdark.com/

He's notable for his language, which reminds me of intricately carved bas reliefs.
