Actually, no, the title isn’t the problem. Instead, the art is less than professional, and the typeface is a boring variant of Times New Roman. As a package, it looks amateur.
The title does become a problem if you have to explain it, but I don’t think it’s a BIG problem – it might just make someone curious enough to pick it up.
POSRE: I like how the entire cover emotes a Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew vibe.
But the art needs to be improved.

What don’t you like about this cover? Just the title? The blurb specifies that “Sire and Damn” is the name of a business, so Damn/Dam is intentional.
Sorry, but this one doesn’t seem to deserve to be poked at!

The perspective on that path is probably only a tiny bit off, but it makes it look all wrong. And the dog is wonky too.

Someone needs to learn basic perspective in art.
