Cover of Gareth Barsby's Rebecca and the Grinning Worm. A sinister cartoon face in the style of Earthworm Jim leers out at the reader from above the title, clawed hands splayed threateningly. The creature has a pale blue face with yellow teeth, yellow and red eyes, and grey-black hands. Beneath the title is an irate-looking cartoon, anthropomorphic crow in the same style. She's wearing an orange-yellow longsleeve shirt over a red undershirt. The background is an opaque black.

The cover for Elliott Gish's Grey Dog. The novel features a simple poppy red background with a block-print ink drawing of a wolf and a deer's upper bodies joined together (like a Push-me Pull-you if you've read or seen Dr. Dolittle). "Grey Dog" is written in a beautiful cursive font, while "elliott gish" is written in lower case above the image of the deer-dog.
