Although Your Monster it is the first story, it has very clear parallels Good and badwhich darkens the redo I didn't know I needed.

Your Monster is the same as Good and bad in the sense of a Monster and a woman falling in love, and there is definitely something else about Monster that the audience will have to discover.
