Can you give some other words for long stories?

Narrative. It is a general term for a story, and when it's long and continuous, it can be used to describe what you're looking for.

Another word could be 'yarn'. This is a more informal term for a story, which can be long or short. It gives the idea of a story that is spun, as if the teller is spinning a thread of narrative. For example, 'He told a long yarn about his adventures in the mountains.'

Well, 'legend' can be used. Legends are stories that are often based on real or partly real events or people but have been embellished over time with heroic and extraordinary elements. They can be passed down orally or in written form and usually involve a hero or group of heroes who do something remarkable. Take King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table as an example, it's a well - known legend.

Superb anecdotes. An anecdote is a short and interesting story about a real incident or person. 'Superb' emphasizes the high quality of these short stories, making it a valid alternative for 'good stories'.

Storytelling can also be called 'recounting'.

Autobiographies. These are self - written accounts of a person's life, which are essentially life stories written by the person themselves.

Winning reports. Think about it. Success stories are like reports of winning in different aspects of life. It could be in sports, where an athlete overcomes challenges and wins a championship. That's a success story, and it can also be seen as a winning report.

Military anecdotes.

Another set of words could be 'horrific stories', 'blood - curdling stories' and 'petrifying stories'. 'Horrific stories' are extremely horrible and often involve graphic and disturbing content. 'Blood - curdling stories' are so scary that they make your blood seem to freeze in your veins, like a story of a vampire attack. 'Petrifying stories' can literally make you feel as if you are turning to stone from fear, such as a story about being trapped in a cave with a horde of deadly spiders.

Scare - filled stories, fear - inducing stories.
