Well, its kinda hard to classify what it is. Its about 50k words together which is an odd word count for a non-anthology book. But its really not an anthology since the two stories are like two parts of a story. I guess technically we can call it as short novel by two authors (I think SFWA's defination of a novella is up to 40k words, though I'm not sure).
Hence we are just saying a 162 page book which at least gives the buyer an idea of what to expect in terms of the length of the book. One can call it a combination of a novella and a novelette, or a short book, or a short novel (Galouye's classic Simulacron-3 is about 54k words) or whatever.
