a title for my book...

[thepj]

i'm wirting a book. yes it may seem crazy but i might as well give it a go. i've got a lot of the stroy but can't come up with a title. it's a fantasy/horror novel with an emphesis on pycological horror. I have humans, elves(don't troll me for that one they are not graceful pricks), orcs(not the bad guys), trolls(nor are they) and demons. any ideas?

Pretty difficult to come up with a title based on a broad description of it's genre and character races.

 

[Kpt._Rob]

You're going to need more descrition than that if you want a good title. Otherwise, all you're going to get are either joke titles, or hopelessly generic titles.

You can't care a whole lot about your story if you want other people to title it for you.

 

[TriggerUnhappy]

Whimsical Mindfuckery I don't have a clue what to call it though, at least from such a vague description.

I'm just kidding. I don't know I'd have to read your book first.

First of all try using the word psychological. Second a good title is a reference to something important in the book... usually isn't revealed in the first page. Don't name it after the main character, thats lame. And if you are going to write a description for it then don't use words that only someone who read the book would understand... it puts people off reading it... as xkcd described it...

Generic Fantasy Novel #36723: The Good Guy's still haven't won.
Generic Fantasy Novel #36724: The Evil Guy's still not dead.
Generic Fantasy Novel #36725: This is the last one, I swear.

no! no sequels! i hate trilogies and series that go on for ever! lord of the rings was the only good one.

The title is just the fairy on top of the tree, unless you have a significant motif or idea you can reference with the title. If not, just sort the novel out, then think of something that complements the content nicely if one hasn't already struck you. Unless you give more information, you'll remain the only one capable of coming up with a decent title for your book.

Forget the title. First, focus on grammar, spelling and punctuation if you ever want to see a publisher endorse it.

I vote the book be called "In Absentia!"
