Suitability of the Title

"The Face of Fear" seems like the title of a horror story, but it is classified as a suspense novel where kidnapping and murder mystery are the main themes of the book. Do you think the title is suitable for the story? Why or why not?

It is same as the cover page. It makes the reader think that this is a ghost story but later he realizes that is not so

It made me think it was horror... I don't know the whole thing is a little strange to me. I know you're not yo judge a book by its cover, but th title definitely puts in the readers head that it's a horror book.

I think the title is misleading. I initially thought this book was a horror not just because of its title, but also because of its cover art. In my opinion, the author ought to at least come up with a better title. Perhaps a simple one word title that can draw readers in and let them know right away that this is a suspense novel.

I have read the book, and I believe there is nothing wrong with the title. Fear comes in different forms. It's not only about the dead and the undead that could strike fear in a person. This book arouses a lot of feelings and fear was there from beginning to end. In my humble opinion, the title: The Face of Fear is appropriate.

The book cover I think was a strategy to draw in readers to look in.

I feel that the title "The Face of Fear" definitely suits a suspense thriller the same way it will suit a horror story. Considering that many stories that seem like horror stories end up being suspense / mystery / thriller stories really, I find no issue with the title of this book being fit for the description.

Fear has no face but if it really was there any, it would be same like the face that is printed on the book cover. So I feel title is compatible with the story.

I don't think it's the title that has to be judged, but the cover is what gives us that idea of a horror book. For me, the title is so suitable for this book.

All things you have said are true according to your information and also the title is suitable for this book.

I was inclined to think the book was horror based on the cover and the title. They're both a bit misleading on their own, and together they're definitely a bit confusing for someone looking for horror.

The title and cover page are misleading. One might think it's a horror story.

Suitable enough for the plot as I understand it. The cover is a nother matter entirely.

The cover makes me think the book is horror story just like the Scream series. It does not relate to the novel's story.

Given kidnapping and abduction sounds very scary to me, the title is more than fitting in my opinion. Especially because you don’t often see the guy’s face.
