Because books.
Sail, DUDE. I love that.
Anyone feel like brainstorming titles?
Here's the gist: Young adult fiction. Sixteen-year-old girl with a legacy of witchcraft (and just beginning to play with her own power) brings her boyfriend back from the dead. Not treated comically; this is about the obligations that come with love, as well as a sort of metaphor for every girl discovering her identity and her power.
So ... titles? I'm thinking eerie, but not too OTT. Titles for books that have worked well recently are pretty short (Twilight, New Moon, Luxe, Crank, Glass, etc.) but there's room for some longer, more abstract titles, like A Great and Terrible Beauty.
Hit me! I hate working on a new idea without a title (even a placeholder one).

Hmmm. I'll think on that.

There's a whole bunch of traditional ballads about dead lovers.

OOh, that's a good idea, Dana.
