Young Writers Society

It sounds interesting, as I'm getting a pretty cyberspace feeling from it. It also says a lot about certain elements of the story--horror, manipulation, struggles, things like that. However, it doesn't stand out particularly well. When I stared at it for a while, pondering its meaning, I began liking it a lot. At first glance, though, it doesn't seem to be something that I want to jump onto and just read without ever putting down.

Until Tomorrow Never Comes

Hmm. The wording is a bit awkward, I'm not sure if I would read this or not. It sounds like what a YA dystopian novel might have with quite a lot of romance in it, war is probably in it too. I would go for a title that contains the same meaning but written in a clearer way.

Phantasie.

So many cool titles in this thread!

Hmm I'm not a big fan of the intentionally strangely spelled words. I could imagine this going really well with a dark fantasy cover/artwork, though. I think whether I picked it up would depend on what the overall tone was.

The Pull of Gravity

I like the title for its simplicity. It seems space age-y, like the novel could be set on a space station or something. I could also imagine a Stargate type set-up. Plenty of potential here...

Part and Past

I honestly don't see how the words "part and past" have any connection at all. It seems like you just glued two words together and said: "This is a title, wdyt?" I personally don't like it and I wouldn't pick up the book for that reason.

The Burning Caves

@Pretzelsing, fair enough....
I haven't written anything under the title anyway.

I feel like The Burning Caves is something I would find in the fantasy section of the dimestore novel rack at the grocery store. Not saying it's a bad idea, simply that the title fits in alongside others I can distinctly remember finding there—and I've bought a couple of my Terry Pratchett books from there, so. My actual critique? I find it unremarkable, unmemorable, and it doesn't really draw me to it. Why should I buy The Burning Caves instead of Carpe Jugulum or Guards! Guards!?

Absolute

I get the picture of someone saying "enough!". From the title I'd expect for the main character to be very headstrong, or determined. I think I'd pick it up, and read the back.

Phoenix Inferno

Not bad, but it's a little generic-fantasy-feeling. The title alone wouldn't make me pick it up, but it wouldn't make me avoid it either. Very strong fantasy vibes, so your reader would have very strong expectations going into reading it, which might be a good thing, or might not be.

Death in the City of Love

btw, it's for a short story idea, rather than a novel, just so you know.

Hm. It has a nice ring to it, but I think its cover would really have to stand out for me to be interested enough to pick it up. Makes me think of a thriller starring a young(ish) woman of questionable ethics whose lover or sibling's been murdered, and who spends her nights looking for the murderer in the streets of 1050s-ish Paris, avoiding a love interest detective and/or a love interest killer.
That, or a fantasy satire about Death (as in, the Reaper) somehow literally ending up in Paris. I'd prefer to read the first one, most likely.

Admittedly the concept for the story behind this title's a little different to the plots you've mentioned, but I kinda want to write both these stories now. XD

Anyway, I quite like your title - it has a quirkiness that appeals to me, and I probably would pick it up, simply out of curiosity. Has a kind of Shaun of the Dead but in an office block feel to it in a way, definitely makes me feel like there'd be a strong humour element to it. A zombie story that isn't completely doom and gloom, perhaps.

Postscripts

When I see Post, I think After. Scripts makes me think "Writings." Like little notes hanging this place and that. So I'd more than likely assume that it's post-apocalyptic where writing's been lost in the disaster but someone's trying to figger it out again. I'd read it for sure.

The Stone Mages

Seems very typical fantasy/adventure novel-ish, particularly with the use of "mages". I'm not sure if I would find it appealing, but the title isn't unclear, so at least the reader has a general idea of what they might be in for.

Nostalgia

The title is very simple. I don't know how I can be interested in reading the novel since I don't know what to expect. Moments full of nostalgia aren't appealing to me. Perhaps you should paraphrase it in a creative way without losing its meaning.

The Silent Speaker

I like the simplicity and mystery of the title.
