Based on structural analysis alone: "Whispers in the Dark" is a moderately common title phrase in publishing. Without search results, I cannot confirm whether an exact match exists, but this title structure (evocative, atmospheric phrasing) is frequently used across multiple genres.

## Close Conflict Check

**Note: No variant search results provided for analysis.**

Without access to close-title variant data, I cannot identify specific similar titles that might create reader confusion. However, titles incorporating "Whispers," "Dark," or both are common in thriller, horror, paranormal romance, and mystery genres.

## Positioning Risk Assessment

**UNABLE TO FULLY ASSESS** — The absence of search results prevents a complete risk evaluation. However, given the generic nature of "Whispers in the Dark" as a phrase:
- **Structural risk is MEDIUM**: This title structure has likely been used before and may compete for discoverability across multiple genres.

## Verdict

**CAUTION** — Cannot confirm safety without functional search data, but the common phrasing warrants alternatives regardless.

## Alternative Title Suggestions

Without the genre specified, I recommend:

1. **Echoes of Silence** — Maintains atmospheric tone; more distinctive phrasing
2. **The Whispered Secret** — Adds specificity; reduces generic phrasing overlap
3. **Darkness Speaks** — More active and memorable while retaining the mood

**RECOMMENDATION:** Please resubmit with:
- Genre specification
- Functional Amazon/Goodreads search results
- Intended audience details

This will enable a definitive conflict assessment.
