It might actually be a great spoof, you know.
A silly title usually signals an intentionally silly story.
The ones to watch out for are the earnestly serious titles.

For example, there is this extremely successful series:

Undead and Unwed
Undead and Unemployed
Undead and Unappreciated
Undead and Unreturnable

And those are just the first four in a looonnnggg series.

It's been a helluva year. First I lose my job. Then, I'm in a car accident. Next, I'm waking up dressed in clothes I wouldn't be caught dead in (pink polyester and cheap shoes courtesy of my evil stepmother). But guess what? I am dead and what really bites is that I can't seem to stay dead. Every night, I wake up with a horrible craving. Not chocolate—mom would approve of that. No, all of a sudden my snack choice is blood, and I'm not taking well to a liquid diet.

Yep, that's me: Betsy Taylor, a single, unemployed Minneapolis secretary. Taller at six feet than most of the men I meet. Pretty, but so dull my cat runs away three times a month. And now: a vampire. No sooner am I undead, than my stepmonster steals my shoes. My hellishly expensive, to-die-for shoes. What's worse, my new friends have the ridiculous idea that I'm their prophesied vampire queen. I must help them overthrow the baddest vampire lord they've seen in five centuries. Personally, I don't care—until they use a powerful temptation: designer shoes. How can I resist?
Trust me, no AI software will ever learn to do that kind of silly. It's too illogical that something that bad could be that good.
