The Spooky Season Surge - August Coloring Book Trends on Amazon
We are just a week into August, but don’t let the heat fool you. Spooky season is creeping in early. People are already craving haunted cups of color, and the charts are starting to show it.
Spooky Coloring Books are Rising Fast
As summer winds down, Halloween vibes are sneaking into coloring carts. In 2025 there is an unusually early rise in spooky-themed books. Sweetly spooky characters, haunted cafe scenes, and pumpkin-spiced illustrations are showing up faster than you can say “BOO!” Seasonal demand is proving that when it comes to coloring books, it is never too soon to start on fall favorites.

Two fresh entries caught my eye this month, and both are perfectly timed for the spooky season.
Spooky Cutie Vol. 2
This adorable sequel takes the charm of the first Spooky Cutie and adds even more sweet witches, playful pumpkins, and friendly ghost pals. It delivers Halloween vibes with a cute twist that is perfect for anyone who likes festive fun without the frights. The bold outlines make it beginner-friendly while still offering enough detail to keep experienced colorists engaged.
You know what you are going to get with most Coco Wyo coloring books and this one checks so many of those same boxes that makes them such a popular coloring book publisher.
Pumpkin Spice Cafe Coloring Book
If your coloring style leans toward cozy rather than creepy, this book is an autumn must-have. Picture a cafe wrapped in fall decor, with warm mugs steaming and dessert displays ready for your favorite shades. It feels like a quiet afternoon in your favorite coffee shop during peak pumpkin spice season.
I recently shared my full thoughts in a Pumpkin Spice Cafe Coloring Book Flip-Through Review which included close-ups of the pages and what stood out the most.
