Lovely illustrations in a variety of gothic flavours 💀✨
Some of them might be a bit more restrictive when it comes to colouring them because of the amount of black in them, but I mean... what is gothic without heaps of darkness?
All in all, very nice! I can definitely think of people who would have a blast with a physical copy of this book (myself included)

This book is exactly what one would expect from the title and the cover. It is a mix of gothic things like skills, bones, tarot, Ouija etc. Honestly, the back of some of the coloring pages are more interesting than some of the pictures. If one can does not get a copy of the Horror Coloring books that are out of print, this one would do nicely.

There are so many pretty designs in this book, it would make an excellent gift. I would definitely buy this in physical form.

This is a wonderful gift for anyone who loves the dark and gothic side of life. It is pleasingly different to the usual colouring books and would suit any age group. I definitely recommend it.

Some really stunning pics in here. Will definitely have to buy a copy of this so I can actually colour them in

Just in time for Halloween week, this is a great coloring book to give to older kids, who may think Trick or Treating is beneath them (eyeroll included), but still want to get in on some of the fun- hand them this with a set of coloring pens or pencils in a cute bucket with some Halloween candy, and they'll get to color away while watching the horror movies, or sharing with their friends at the sleepover!

As you can see, each page is backed by a simple drawing pattern, so you have your choice of which one to color (as I'm reviewing the ebook, I can't say if ink will go through to the backside or not), and you can make either as elaborate as you want. Drawings cover a wealth of designs from hearts, skulls, crows, roses and gothic women. There are designs for all tastes, and you/your kids can easily divide the book among others for some fun creative expressions on all Hallows!

I love this! This book has the perfect balance of beautiful and simple coloring pages that are quick or leave room for creativity, and detailed coloring pages that take more time and skill. There's a great variety of subjects in here as well. I love the specific drawings and the full page line arts. Very cool!

There are so many great images to color here. I would definitely pick up a physical copy of this adult coloring book. This is would be a great book to pick up to go along with a fall, halloween, or gothic readathon.

This is a beautiful coloring book! I immediately want to buy it and get to work. These are the kinds of pictures I would tear out and actually display!

I had a lot of fun with this colouring book while re-watching some of my favourite spooky movies/ shows to get in spirit. I especially loved the character designs.

Gothic Coloring by Editors of Chartwell Books came to me at a perfect time for review. With just a few weeks left until Halloween, I am all about the spooky! This book has so many projects to color but taking it a step even further, I can see myself using this as inspiration for other projects. I can easily visualize these images on my embroidery hoop or on fused glass. There are also pattern pages that could lend themselves well to my collage journal pages. The images range from kooky to downright creepy and I love it!

Many thanks to Quarto Publishing Group- Chartwell Books and Netgalley for this ARC. All opinions expressed are authentically my own.

Took a while for me to actually go through the book, because I work so much, over all I did enjoy. It was different and not the same as others.

Gothic Coloring by the editors of Chartwell Books invites you to delve into the shadowy realms of creativity. This coloring book is a gateway to the eerie allure of gothic aesthetics, which I personally like very much! It's a bewitching canvas of self-expression.

A fun collection of illustrations with a gothic feel, the selection of images vary and the repeat patterns are well thought out. I think it was be a nice gift for many.

Based on the cover, I really thought I would love this coloring book. Unfortunately, most of the artwork just isn't for me. That would not prevent me from recommending this to other coloring fans, though. I think many people will really enjoy this. There is a nice range of detailed versus more simple artwork, so it has something for every coloring mood.

This is a fun coloring book with a good variety of images. There are patterned pages and pages with single images drawn in different styles and levels of complexity. I could see it being fun to color while listening to an audiobook or music. :)

Mindful patterns to immerse in are a beautiful way to sluff off a stressy day. Adult coloring books are popular enough that there's something for everyone, and if you have Gothic tendencies, you are not being overlooked!

I enjoyed flipping through this collection. There's so many beautiful Victorian and Gothic pictures to admire. On the back side of each design page is an extremely detailed, intricate pattern for those occasions when you really need to channel all your focus down to tiny details. My fingers are itching to dig into my color sharpie collection now.

The pictures are beautiful even in their 'skeletal' form. Once you've colored them in, you might even find that a few favorites are suitable for framing. Wouldn't they look marvelous on the walls of your gothic parlor?

My thanks to the Editors of Chartwell Books, Quarto Publishing Group, and NetGalley for allowing me to read a digital review copy of this book. This review is my honest and unbiased opinion.

Wow! This is absolutely stunning! Perfect for Halloween or anytime at all. If you or someone else loves Gothic imagery, themes, artwork and eerie symbols and designs this is for you. I was blown away.

The designs to colour range from very detailed and intricate to more simple. We have spiders, beautiful gothic women, classic gothic style buildings, skulls with flowers and so much more. This will suit a huge range of fans. I really didn’t expect it to be so good. I wish a review could show some of the internal images.

I do some adult colouring myself and use very fine tipped pens and pencils for intricate, tiny elements and love it. It’s something you can lose yourself in. I do really like that the complexity level in this book is varied. It’s a beautiful and unique colouring book. Treat yourself or someone you know will like this. There are some nice designs in here that would make gorgeous tattoos! Five huge gothic stars!

What a lovely adult coloring book. I am absolutely smitten with some of the pictures and want to dig out my gel pens and watercolors and start coloring right away.

The pictures range from simple to complex, letting you choose the degree of difficulty you're in the mood for—whether you want a simple doodle or a detailed picture.

Great coloring book—especially great for the Halloween season.
