I don't know if you read much mythology, but this has strong echoes of Eastern European folk tales. The Dracula story is embedded deeply in such literature. You've done a fine job here. This has passion, it avoids sentimentality, it reaches toward the psyche, its weird and wonderful dream landscapes. I recommend it.
Names have certain associations, very strong ones at times.
An editor didn't think it was the right name for a strong female character, so she changed it. I doubt whether that book would still be selling 250,000 copies a year if Scarlett has been a Pansy. I think I'm pretty good at titles and have been thinking of opening a title service for writers who can't find the right one. A play on Atwood's Good Bones Or just 'Dead'. Though 'The Dead' is fine.
