The problem is that the tone of the titles doesn't match the tone of the novel. The novel isn't nearly as flippant as the titles, which don't take themselves seriously.
I need a title that will not mislead my readers into thinking this will be a fun romp like Shawn of the Dead, for instance.
And yes, I love revelations like this. I kept fighting the rest of what I thought was the book because the last "real" scenes I'd written felt like a climax, and I didn't want to write 20,000 words of anticlimax.
Then I realized that, well, maybe that was the climax and I should just stop fighting it.
