Evil Fantasy Book Titles

[defendi]

I need to crowd source some evil book names. I gave a PC a "side quest" of getting a list of prescribed books for his order. The Paladin in the party has enough church clout to get them, and now they are demanding the titles so they can choose on a book by book basis. I told them there were like 50 on the list. Rookie mistake.

The examples I gave him so far:

How to Animate Human Skin
How to Manipulate Life Force
The Crooked Path
Power Above All

We probably want some horrifying sounding ones as well as some benign sounding ones.

Thanks!

Bob

I see what you did there.

Cool.
