Independent adult coloring books
Ashen Bell Press makes coloring books for adults who like their pages a little darker: folk monsters of the Alpine winter, the legends behind cover-ups, exact geometry and the hottest peppers on earth.
A Dark Folk Christmas Coloring Book for Adults
35 dark folk Christmas designs in a heavy vintage woodcut style: Krampus runs, Perchten masks, Frau Perchta, Gryla, the Yule Cat, the Mari Lwyd and the Wild Hunt. Designs start simple and grow darker as you go.
An Adult Coloring Book of Hidden Histories & Cover-Ups
36 original designs in a detailed woodcut line style, each with a short field briefing on the legend behind it — from the flat plane and Hangar 51 to Atlantis and the Philadelphia Experiment. Imaginative fiction for entertainment, not factual reporting.
An Adult Coloring Book of 30 Super-Hot Chili Peppers
Thirty real super-hot chili cultivars drawn as botanical line art — wrinkled ghosts, lantern-shaped pods, hooked scorpion tails — each with a short fact line on origin and heat.
An Adult Coloring Book of Sacred Geometry & Mathematical Forms
42 precise constructions drawn as clean line art: compass circles, polyhedra, tilings that never repeat, knots, spirals and fractals, with heavy open lines and room to color.
Ein dunkles Folklore-Weihnachtsmalbuch für Erwachsene
The German-language edition of Krampusnacht: 35 dark folk Christmas designs in a heavy woodcut style, with German text throughout.
