Books where the title 'spoils' the ending
One of the more creative types of titles (in my opinion) is one that basically gives away the way the book will end, and the question that remains is how the book will get to that ending. It feels counterintuitive, because usually you try to avoid spoiling the ending of a book as much as possible, but it can create a different type of tension. If the title claims the book will end a certain way, but the story seems to go in an opposite directing, you get faced with the dread that everything will go wrong eventually. Or maybe the title is a bit vague; you know something will go wrong, but you don't know how, or when, or why.
For example, the book that prompted this post is called Five Survive by Holly Jackson. It's about six friends who are trapped in an RV while a sniper is waiting for them outside. Six friends, five survive. I think you can see where this is going. But even so, the story was full of unexpected twists and turns, and even until the very end it wasn't clear who was actually going to die. But the title stayed true to its word, and five survived. Despite knowing this 'spoiler', it was still one of the most nerve-wracking books I've read. The title actually elevated the tension, by upping the stakes; no matter what happened, you knew not everyone was making it out of the situation alive.
Another example is They Both Die at the End by Adam Silvera. Again, they both die, that's true, but what happens before that, and how they will die is still a complete mystery. The biggest difference with Five Survive is that in TBDatE the characters themselves also know this outcome, so they change their behavior based on that. But the story still manages to be surprising, even if both the characters and the readers know how it's going to end.
Are there any other books like this, where the title basically gives away the ending? Do you think it's a good way to title a book, or does it give too much away?
