Books

Coloring books, field guides and journals

The Shadow Explorers Handbook series reads like a field guide and colors like a sketchbook. Demons with their rank and lore, the angelic orders, and a cryptid for every state in the union.

Archives from the Asylum is not a coloring book. It is a journal for those with a dark past: 365 days of open journaling, set among Dan's hand-drawn original artwork. Its pages are shadow sanctuaries, open spaces for your own thoughts.

Every book is created by Dan and published under Upstream Lion.
