Southern Slothic fiction titles
March 10, 2024 12:57 PM Subscribe
I am creating book covers for the imaginary fiction genre of Southern Slothic. (Example 1, Example 2). I need some titles for these novels that are as excellent as the artwork. So far the best one I have is The Heart Is a Slowly Hunter. The titles can refer to other books like that or can just be apt sloth puns.
I would also really enjoy As I Lay, just drop the dying.

Abslothom, Abslothom (cf. Absalom, Absalom)?
Slothtree (Suttree)?
I Hate to See That Evening Sloth Go Down (..Evening Sun...)?
Some classics of Southern Gothic require no edits to the title, IMO:
Swamplandia!
In the Heart of the Dark Wood
The Little Friend
Steal Away Home

Response by poster: iThank you all for your great ideas! They made me laugh.
I've only done a few book covers so far, but there will be more.
I included some Southern Slothic book covers as postcards in the site I just launched for work with images from my various silly projects.
