Difference between Grotesque and Novel

Grotesque vs. Novel

Since at least the 18th century (in French and German as well as English), grotesque (or grottoesque) has come to be used as a general adjective for the strange, mysterious, magnificent, fantastic, hideous, ugly, incongruous, unpleasant, or disgusting, and thus is often used to describe weird shapes and distorted forms such as Halloween masks. A novel is a relatively long work of narrative fiction, normally in prose, which is typically published as a book.
