The Damn Dirty Junkies have spoken. We needed a new title for INFECTION, and of the names posted in the above graphic, Junkies choose INFECTED as the new name. I, your humble servant (me, humble, now THAT is a laugh …) am following your wise contributions.
You guys had some AMAZING name suggestions, many of which I’ve filed away for future novels. So in ten years, when I have taken over the world, if you see your title on a Sigler novel (assuming, of course, you haven’t been cleansed by one of my takeover pogroms), you can throw me an email. Beers are on me.
Seriously, Junkies, we had 627 votes in less than 38 hours. Thank you for the fast response. If you’re behind the times on this story, I left the original post and call the comments in place. Just click “more” to read all about it.
ORIGINAL POST:
Junkies - it appears that INFESTED is not available. Some dude who made a direct-to-DVD movie in 2002 called INFESTED claims to be making a sequel. This smells a lot like cybersquatting to me, but Rogue Pictures is taking the high road and asked me to come up with a new name for the hardcover novel due on April 1. They want to make the movie title the same as the book title (that’s just plain good marketing). So, I call upon all of you!
I need something with that spooky sense of impending doom, but still somehow subtle. Picture the title with some dark, ominous book cover hinting at lots (and lots) of violence, and you get the feel. You guys know the story, let’s see what you think of these:
INFECTION needs to be re-named, what should we call it?
