The cover art has arrows pointing away from it with text coming off them. The text coming off the arrows reads as the following: "1. Trans femme werewolf 2. Buy a cottage, go feral 3. New life in the country 4. Narrator tells a story 5. The dream of owning a house 6. Gothic and slightly scary 7. Be the spooky horror that lives in the woods 8. Reclaim your body, make your home.”

Slide 3: A forest green background. Covering most of the page, there is a design of white lined paper. On the paper, an excerpt from the episode reads: “Narrator: When choosing a home one should consider the meaning of the word. Not merely a place you sleep or eat or while away the hours but a place where you live.  For Sally this criteria was at the front of her mind as she walked the “beautiful and well cared for” land that would come with her new abode, not yet having earned ‘home’. The paths crisscrossed through the ancient woodland and she could hear all sorts of chirps, crunches and rustlings that spoke of a place very much alive. She had always enjoyed this feeling, ever since she was small, she spent much of her time in the small patches of green that dotted the city she was raised in.” There are trees in the top right corner.

Slide 4: A forest green background. In the centre of the page, there is a design of white lined paper. On the paper, the credits read: “CREW: Written by J.T. Jenkins. Directed by J.T. Jenkins. Audio editing by Zoey Davis, Cover art by Alex Abrahams. CAST: J.T. Jenkins as the Narrator. Moira-Juliet Scott as Sally. Bridget Guziewicz as Brian. Bee Hill as Thea. Calumny Winder and Jordan Hendrickson as the Other Voice in the Woods.” There is a cottage on the right side of the page.

Slide 1: A dark green background. In white lettering, a title reads: "ANATOMY OF A MONSTER.” In the centre of the page, there is the cover art for this episode. It pictures several colourful, queer monsters including but not limited to a werewolf with top surgery scars, mothman with a transgender symbol on his wing, and an androgynous-looking merperson. The cover art has arrows pointing away from it with text coming off them. The text coming off the arrows reads as the following: "1. Trans poetry 2. Queer monster imagery 3. Comment on how society treats us 4. T4t love poem 5. Growing, changing and transitioning together 6. Thanking those who came before us for having the courage to exist.”

Slide 2: A dark green background. There is a design of a piece of paper in the centre of the page. On the paper, text reads: “Monsters, I believe, have always been around, born from whispers on storytellers’ lips.” There are several monsters all over the page: sea creatures, a werewolf, a dragon, some tentacles and some fangs.

Slide 3: A dark green background. Covering most of the page, there is a design of white lined paper. On the paper, an excerpt from the episode reads: “In my dreams, I saw myself. Who I could have become if they hadn’t Stripped me of everything that made me me. If they hadn’t broken me, reshaped my flesh and bones, Forced me into their suffocating mould of normality. Every morning, I awoke and felt wrong. My skin, my shape, my body didn’t feel like mine. And I realised, it never had. And then I realised I did not have to accept this fate. The next time they came to pull out my fangs, I bit down hard and watched their hand bleed. I became the creature of chaos that I was always meant to be. And, for the first time in years, I smiled.”

Slide 4: A dark green background. In the centre of the page, there is a design of white lined paper. On the paper, the credits read: “CREW: Written by Alex Abrahams. Directed by Alex Abrahams. Audio editing by Alex Abrahams. Art by Sylvie Keyes. CAST: Alex Abrahams.” There are bones in the top left corner, a zombie hand in the top right corner, tentacles in the bottom left corner, and fangs in the bottom right corner.
