Brought a book yesterday which is a pschological thriller and is about stalkers.
It revolves around this guy that has some issues linked to when he was young and targets teenagers as his prey, using a social networking site called rigamole, the equivallent to todays facebook. It is called Fever of the bone by Val McDermid. This also inspired some title ideas. It has connotations which gve a fore warning sense of the person the book revolves around has it in their blood, they are born with it, which we later find out has stemmed from child hood. I have put a poll up to ask for ideas and see what others have sugested.
The top three are:
Kill to BE
Desperate
Pause
These all connotate a sense of being on edge. Kill to Be lead the audience to think of danger, feeling unsafe, knowing that they may be targeted. This was suggested by a voter but came 3rd in the poll.
Desperate has three syllables, an extended word which can be applied to many different things. It can mean a feeling, a desperate mood where morels go out the window, or desperation as an expression, a mind set that they have to conform or are desperate for revenge.
Pause may seem bland at first but i would use the pause symbol like a hand held camera symbol (II). It could only mean one thing- a pause in life/moment. This was the title voted for the most out of the suggestions. I think the reson people voted for it the most was because it suits a thriller, [REC] was a title of one thriller which was very popular, mainly due to its title.
