I saw a list of Philip K. Dick books and they had some very strange titles. What Horror and Ghost stories do you know that have titles that are among the oddest you have come across?
Please share these weird wonders below!
Good Luck!
I'll start with a few Philip K. Dick:
The Man Whose Teeth Were All Exactly Alike
Flow My Tears, the Policeman Said
Galactic Pot-Healer

Mr Dick's 'Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?'
So Long and Thanks for all the Fish by Douglas Adams
A few others, but probably not in horror/supernatural genres.
Goblinproofing One's Chicken Coop and Other Practical Advice in Our Campaign Against the Fairy Kingdom by Reginald Bakeley
Living with Crazy Buttocks by Kaz Cooke
How to avoid Huge Ships by John Trimmer

I always loved Keep the Aspidistra Flying by George Orwell (Eric Blair).

Disappointingly that title does make sense in the historical context of back to the land, organic farming and other conservationist ideas current in a number of the fascist parties of the 30s (eg over here The English Mistery [sic] and The English Array, plus many others, including the NSDAP). It's probably quite an interesting read |

And "The Greenwood Folk" in Reggie Oliver's Striding Edge ( Terror Tales of the Lake District, ed. Paul Finch, 2011). |

I don't have that particular Terror Tales. Perhaps I should. As well as the better known proto-fascist groups and green-oriented friends of the BUF there were a number of youth groups inspired by similar ideologies and an apparent love of the outdoors. Two authors who have recently had some fun with this are Lissa Evans (Old Baggage) and Melissa Harrison (All Among the Barley), producing two cracking novels, which I would heartily recommend |
