Brutally Honest Book Titles

By November 1, 2016April 17th, 2018Inspired by Literature, Literature

A clever title is a great thing but what if they were a little more descriptive? Perhaps a little more to the point? We have had great fun in coming up with some alternative book titles to some well-known fiction. It was so much fun that we have even created some convincing mock ups of what the titles would look like and a little blurb under each. 



Captain Nemo: the man, the mystery, the giant-squid murderer.

Messing with the fabric of time is like camping on a cliff-edge: exciting, precarious, not recommended.

Rand just wanted everyone to be more selfish. Is that too much to ask?

Not an autobiography but it almost could’ve been.

If you fancy a bit of mindless violence my droogs this is for you!

Well, one in particular does anyway…

One for those of us who haven’t had an orgasm for 5 years.

Look out for the sequel: Frankenstein’s Bride, Tinder for the Hands-On Crafter.



One boy’s mission to eventually listen to his friend’s advice.

Bigger, Longer, Orc-ier.

Because why would we not want giant killer creatures on the loose?  

Like, come on, guys, racism is bad ok?

What? NO OOM-PA-PA??

Iago: One of the original bad boys.

Who wasn’t a bit selfish as a teenager, eh?  

Snog Mr Darcy, Marry Jane Bennet, and Avoid George Wickham. That’s my choice anyway

Hobbits, and Orcs, and Trolls, oh my!

 There are two kinds of people in this world: those who find this book life affirming, and those who barely scraped through without harming themselves. 

For dedicated readers.

Eee, it’s grim up north.  

We have so many more alternative book titles to offer but for now we hope those 20 were an entertaining read! If you have any ideas let us know and we may do a Alternative Book Titles Part II.
