Which Title Is Your Favourite?

Authors use the title to build impact and appeal, but oftentimes the title appears verbatim in the actual literary work at a climatic period to serve as a key antidote. When done effectively, the story binds together and the reader gains a clearer understanding. I like how this happens in The Catcher in the Rye, where the main character, Holden, is portrayed all story long as this short-tempered, pre-occupied, struggling guy's-type-of-guy, only to the reader's surprise towards the end when in frustration, he describes how his dream job is something similar to overseeing children dance in a circle inside a rye field and catching them as they fall; showing hints of a paternal, accommodating and selfless side to someone clearly misunderstood. This made me sympathize with Holden and re-evaluate his handling of his struggles.

That said, it's hard to choose the most appropriate title without any further understanding the story.

I would definitely pick up a book titled "Such A Beautiful Massacre"

Pale moonlight

Instead of such A beautiful massacre I would go with

A beautiful massacre

Or The beautiful Massacre

I like Pale Moonlight and Under A Red Moon. I like the other one, but if it were me, I would title it The Beautiful Massacre. If you decided to change it to that, it would be my favorite.

such a beautiful massacre - however anyone knows that a writer seldom gets to use the title she chooses. that is what Editiors are for.
