I only noticed because I happened to flick past it on Kobo just a day or two ago - not sure how/why, since horror isn't really my thing - and the title stuck in my head, not only because the title itself works as horror, but also because the choice of conjunction struck me as ... not obvious. If I had written that sentence I think I would have chosen "but" (as you did), but I was wondering if the "and" was actually more horrific. Anyway, those are the sorts of knots I was tying myself in and why I found the title memorable.
(Goodness, now I read back over that it sounds a bit obsessive or something. Hmm... and now I'm talking to myself.
