Beautiful and Creepy

I preordered this coloring book at the beginning of September and just received my copy yesterday. I absolutely love it! The pictures are creepy and very pretty (pretty for the type of content at least). A lot of the pictures are very detailed, but as long as you have either use pens or keep your colored pencils nice and sharp, it shouldn't be a problem. The quality of the paper is very nice and thick and easy to draw/color on. I highly recommend this coloring book to anyone looking for a creepy coloring book for Halloween or if you're just into that kind of thing.

So much fun!

Never been a big coloring book guy, but This Time I am obsessed! Alan's drawings are exceptional, and in My Eyes, it's a fun challenge adding color to his art. Zombies rising from Underground, creepy clowns, spiders weaving webs - horrific Through and Through!

As far as the actual coloring, the River Runs Red. Lots of blood! Been using watercolor markers, sharpies, and colored pencils, and the pages hold up well with nothing bleeding through - no Stain Remains. I throw on some metal, listen to the Words and Music and color away. There's a Method of Groove to it all, which usually means three or four hours flying by like nothing. Great way to spend your Monday, Thursday or Friday evening.

Nothing but Respect for this book and its art, no Bad Seeds. Highly recommend picking it up. Also fun to see everyone else's colorings!

The Beauty of Horror, the best coloring book for Halloween and true horror fans.

I LOVE this book!!! I have over 75 coloring books and I can honestly say that this is my favorite coloring book, it makes it very hard to do my day to day activities because I just want to color in this book. The pictures have such amazing details and thought put into them. I was not disappointed in a single picture, most of my coloring books have several pictures that I will never color but there isn't a single picture in this book that I don't want to color!!! I highly recommend this book, especially for horror fans. A lot of Halloween coloring books are more pumpkins, black cats etc and they lack the detail this book has. This book has the detail, the gore and the kind of pictures a real horror fan can sink their teeth into. Buy this book!!!!

This book is AMAZING! The artist obviously loves what he does. Whether you are into horror or not, anyone can appreciate the beauty of the work and how much effort was put into this book. So much to color for an amazing price. I don't know where to begin!

My favorite of all the coloring books I own..

I grew up on horror movies. I reenacted said horror movies with my Barbies. I also drew and colored A LOT. This coloring book would have been an obsession when I was a wee thing but now it's gory relaxation. It had me at zombie-octo-mermaids.

ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!!!

Absolutely love this horror themed coloring book. The artwork is incredibly detailed. There's so much variety to the 'horror themes' too. Werewolves, zombies, sea monsters, etc. This is the first coloring book I've found that's HORROR. It calls me to in so many ways. As soon as I seen that it was on pre-order I had to order it. I could not wait to get it and it seriously has not disappointed. I totally recommend it to anyone who loves horror and anyone who loves to color!

Amazing!!!!

Incredible artwork. So excited to color these pieces in the book.

Skulls, horror scenes, and all sorts of interesting pages.

I don't want to give it away....

But this is one of the BEST coloring books I own. And I have a few. Of course you have to appreciate horror in some way to truly absorb the pages.

I suggest this coloring book to everyone.....

Alan Robert is a TRUE artist....

And I hope he makes another

Superior quality, amazing artwork-a must buy
by SLD12DAY (5 out of 5 stars)

I purchased The Beauty of Horror I coloring book because Halloween and other horror-type coloring books are by far my favorite. Based on positive reviews and the really cool video the publisher put out to promote it, I was seriously excited, to say the least.

The book has a sturdy cover with a - get this- dust jacket! There are images to color on the inside of the jacket AND on the inside of the book's cover. Each page is printed evenly (no wonky misprinted images) on quality heavy stock paper that does not allow bleed-through nor pressure marks (I press so hard, it looks like I'm mad at the picture). I used Prismacolor Premier pencils with ease as the paper is so smooth there is no worry about having to burnish to get the color into nooks and crannies. It also takes the blender pencil well and does an amazing job of allowing my eraser to work properly without tearing the page.

As for the images themselves, to put it simply, they are works of art. Mr. Roberts is creative and talented, so much so that this coloring book has held my interest to the point of WANTING to color every page, unlike most where there's only 4 or 5 that I care to spend my time on. Additionally, there is an excellent balance of white space, and unlike some other horror coloring books, it isn't laden with so much black that there's no point in adding any color to it. Rather, each image, while perfectly rendered in its own rite, invites and graciously allows the colorer to contribute their own creative voice...to make it your own, if you will.

My only wish is that the pages were one-sided and perforated. I understand there is a Beauty of Horror Ultimate Nightmare book coming out that features frameable pages, so hopefully that means they will at least be one-sided.

By the way, the images I included with this review show pages I have started but not yet completed. This is how I color, but was so impressed with my experience so far, I didn't want to wait until each page was finished to share.
