Added DiffLines:

* [[Creator/MontagueRhodesJames M. R. James']] ghost stories were published in four collections; of these, only ''A Warning to the Curious and Other Ghost Stories'' follows this trope. (The third collection, ''A Thin Ghost and Others'', initially appears to, but none of the stories in it have that title.)


Added DiffLines:

* The ghost stories of Eleanor Scott, an early FolkHorror author, were collected and published under the title ''Randalls Round''; this is ''also'' the title of the first story in the collection, which creates the need for some clarification when discussing the work.

Added DiffLines:

Choosing a title is an important part of marketing an {{anthology}}. Some anthologies take their title from one of the stories they're reprinting, in a strategy to capitalize on the audience's familiarity with the original work. Audiences seeking the original work will find this anthology and may decide to purchase it to read the other stories that are (usually) somewhat similar.

An Anthology sharing the same title as one of the works within the collection is always deliberate, although it may be [[InvertedTrope inverted]] by an author being asked to write a story based on the name, rather than choosing the anthology's title based on an already-written story.

SubTrope to TitleDrop, which includes multiple ways a title affects the writing of the work, as well as when the work itself affects the title.

SisterTrope to TitleDropChapter, where an installment of a single work (such as a chapter or an episode) shares the title with the whole work; this often is used for important developments. The anthology signals that this story is the best/most-famous amoung the collection, rather than the containing the biggest revelation.

SuperTrope to TitleTrack, where a music album shares the title with one of the songs in the anthology.
