There's a revenant ballad named "The Unquiet Grave."
Fred: Oh my God! Angel, you're…cute! Angel: Fred, don't! Fred: Oh, but the little hands! And the hair! Angel: Hey! You're fired.

I was trying to find something appropriate to the proto-Eurydice myth, Inanna's descent into the Underworld, but her reasoning for the descent is murky. She claims she's there to witness a funeral rite, but that appears to not so much be the case and she may have been there to conquer the realm of the dead.

Because books.
Unquiet Grave isn't bad, Ginger.
MM, dude. Pulls out the research!

It was research I did for something else a few years ago. Just had to go back and verify why she went and it was....ambiguous.

I like Unquiet Grave, and the book itself sounds fascinating.
I suck at titles. I feel like all of mine are boring, with the possible exception of my WIP and its planned sequel...and I'm still paranoid enough about giving out my alternative history hook before I've finished the book that I don't like talking about them in a searchable forum. They're too spoilery.
I have non-spoilery working titles for my extremely sketchy ideas for Books 3 and 4 of the series--The Strangest of Bedfellows and Glory's Nemesis--but I hope I can think of something better and less cheesy between now and writing the books.

Anyone want to vote on these?

I like Hungry as the Grave. It has a nice rhythm.

I dunno, my mind went immediately to Hungry Like the Wolf and big hair bands.

So which one do you like? It's okay if it's none of them.
