Lauren F’s Art Direction: Since this story is about elves and changeling babies and magic, it definitely makes sense to represent it on the cover with an electrical plug attacking a lady holding a fluorescent light bulb.

Good Show Sir’s Art Direction: A naked woman… and a goat’s head! Two of the most Satanic things ever… well, according to Wheatley. So just get them on there, we’ll get the attention of all those 14-year-olds!

Good Show Sir’s Art Direction: We need something to symbolise life… like a man breaking out of a box, a box that’s sort of shaped like a man. I know! Put Alfred Hickcock’s head on that box as a hunky man breaks free! What doesn’t that say about life?
