About Ashen Bell Press

Ashen Bell Press is a small independent imprint that publishes coloring books for adults. Our subjects sit a little off the usual path: dark folklore and midwinter monsters, conspiracy legends told as imaginative fiction, precise geometric construction, and botanical studies of real super-hot chili peppers.

What we aim for

  • Pages worth the time. Detailed line art with room to color — woodcut-style folklore, exact geometry, and botanical plates.
  • Single-sided printing. Every design sits on its own 8.5 × 11 in page with a blank back, to reduce marker bleed-through.
  • Honest framing. Folklore is presented as folklore and legend as legend. Fact lines, such as pepper heat ranges, say where the figure comes from.

How the books are made

Our illustrations are created with AI image tools and then cleaned up, checked page by page and laid out for print. Our books are printed and sold through Amazon.
