Frankissssssssssssssssssssstein by Jeanette Wintersunk

I'm imagining a tabloid newspaper/gossip mag picture caption; there is a new film out about Frankenstein and the main actor man is snapped on a beach kissing his boyfriend (OR partner), and underneath it says: Frankissstein.

Sadly I've heard it's part of a trilogy, with Frankinkstein set to come out in 2021 and Frankrikeywhatarewegettingourselvesintostein in 2024.


I'm act chew alley working on some projects mice elf and I'd like to share the titles here to jenna rate some hype:

Draculust
The Hunchback Of Notre Damsel In Distress
Van Helsingle Mum On A Mission

I hope you will all buy them when they come out.

Please promote your saucy films elsewhere, thanks.

Doesn't really aid googling if you deliberately misspell the title and author both.

It's Frankissstein by Jeanette Winterson. Works a bit better on the cover:

I'm genuinely surprised to see this wasn't just a misposted thread intended for HS Art.

Reading about Frankisstein actually made me feel a little bug-eyed. I feel the original novel sold its point perfectly well. In fact I'm going to re-read it now.

Bit bored of that "a love story" thing now.

Always found the "...a novel" thing in titles a bit pretentious. It's in the general fiction section, you plum. Of course it's a novel.

1984 is to blame.

In the wake of Gone Girl and The Girl on the Train there was a glut of domestic thrillers called things like GIRL GONE BAD, HIS FAVOURITE GIRL, THE NEXT GIRL etc.

Now that's been exhausted they're just called stuff like YOU KNOW WHAT YOU DID or I KNOW WHAT YOU DID or SHE FORGOT WHAT SHE DID and so on.

There's probably a separate thread for awful autobiography/memoir titles, but Life and Laughing by Michael McIntyre. Mate.

Were they worried people would think it was a calendar?

Go into a WH Smith about three months after some book has become a hit - Da Vinci Code, 50 Shades, etc. - and you'll see hundreds of books with almost identical covers, titles, etc.

Cheekiest example of this I've seen was a reissue of Dante's Inferno at the same time the eponymous Dan Brown came out, with near-identical cover design, colours etc. except the author name was in minuscule type obviously.

Anyway shit titles... Paul McCartney's recent foray into kid's books is called Hey Grandude!. Oh no he better GranDON'T
