I bought a coloring book! Not just any coloring book mind you , but one from the paranormal guru, Jim Harold. I am a big fan of Jim’s work and decided to experience his stories from a whole new point of view, the adult coloring book. Heck, I even bought some colored pencils. If everything goes as planned today, Jim will be on this week’s podcast to talk about the book and share a great old time radio story with us in spooky style. So please join us!

The True Ghost Story Adult Coloring Book: Inspired By Jim Harold’s Campfire

What Jim has done is brought his true ghost stories to life for your coloring enjoyment. 25 images and patterns so stunning they jump off the page! Also he has two color test pages plus a key explaining the origin and meaning of each image. Ghosts, alternate realities and the strange side of life are featured in these single sided pages. All inspired by Jim’s popular Campfire books and podcast series.

The original illustrations were done by acclaimed artist Len Peralta. Len was recently hired to create concept sketches for the new Ghostbusters (2016) movie. Simply put, he’s darn good!

“There are many adult coloring books out there but I believe this one TRULY stands out. I hope you’ll give it a try and share it with your friends who love to color” – Jim Harold

The art of storytelling Is truly an art form. If you look up the word in the dictionary you will find this:

Storytelling is the interactive art of using words and actions to reveal the elements and images of a story while encouraging the listener’s imagination. It involves a two-way interaction between the storyteller and one or more listeners.

Did you see that? Even the word “art” is used the in the definition. But what does it mean? We humans love our stories. It is so much much a part of our lives that we dedicate resources to it (both time and cash). We go to movies, watch TV, read novels and yes, even listen to podcasts. We have to have the latest electronic equipment do to it. So, it must be pretty important to us. But Why?

Since the very beginning of time we have wanted to remember and be remembered. From painting on caves walls to episodes of NBC’s Grimm. They all help us remember who we are and what we can do. It can also help us dream of what is to come. Storytelling helps preserve us as a people.

So, it should not be a “wonder why?” we have storytelling. We should be asking ourselves how we can keep our personal stories safe and pass them along. Are you ever truly dead if someone has your stories? It is why… I do… what I do.
