I'm looking for a new title for "Heart's Gift", which was previously critted here (once again, a big thanks to everyone who looked at it). Which of the following would catch your attention?
Blighted Heart Flawed Sacrifice A Sacrifice to the Corn-Man Heart of Corn The Corn-Man's Heart
Thanks in advance.

For me A Sacrifice... works best

Why not go with "Corn King/God/whatever" rather than "Corn Man"?

A Sacrifice to the Corn Man
It intrigues me the most--makes me want to find out what in the heck this story is about.

I'll have to agree with djvdakota. A Sacrifice to the Corn-Man makes me very curious to find out whats going on in this story.
PS: I'm new so I never saw the piece. I'd be interested to read if you'd email to awpivec@gmail.com

I like "Sacrifice to the Corn-Man". Note I left off the "A".
Of course this is said without having read the story. But it seems to be the most powerful title out of the choices you offered.
Edited due to being too quick with the trigger-finger on the submit button and seeing a typo at the last, all-too-late, second.

What Elan said.

I like Blighted Heart, but couldn't you combine a few of the titles?
"Sacrifice of the Blighted Heart"
I think the above title would make me do a double take and read the synopsis on the back cover and possibly the first few pages.
Hope this helps out some.

I didn't read the 13 lines, but I really like the sound of 'The Corn-Man's Heart' myself.

Thanks everyone for the feedback. It's now officially "Sacrifice to the Corn-Man", at least until I change my mind. And, Skynrd, thanks a lot for the offer, but I've sent out the story already.

This thread has been quiet for a year.
What happened with this story.
(PS: I scan the one-year-old F&Fs from time to time )

Wow. I'm curious too, now.

I went with "Blighted Heart", and it's been at IGMS since last November. Thanks for inquiring
