Weโ€™ve all seen the headlines. Weโ€™ve even shared them here several times.

โ€œMan gouged by bison.โ€

โ€œWoman killed trying to feed grizzly bear.โ€

โ€œTourist injured while taking selfie with bison.โ€

Yellowstone National Park is dangerous and people die there every yearโ€”sometimes, unfortunately, for dumb reasons. This has prompted Wyoming artist Andy Robbins to create his latest coloring book, Yellowstone National Park: A Cautionary Coloring Book, which is not your average coloring book.

Itโ€™s graphic, and the author warns crayon artists of its gory content.

โ€œThis coloring book isnโ€™t for everyone!โ€ the preface reads. โ€œIt depicts scenes of graphic violence, including disembowelment, dismemberment, electrocution, and immolation. Recommended for mature colorists only!โ€

The bookโ€™s summary on the authorโ€™s website reads: 

Yellowstone National Park offers its visitors a more spectacular array of natural wondersโ€“ and as many ways to die while enjoying those wonders โ€“ than almost anywhere on the planet. If thereโ€™s a way to die in Yellowstone, youโ€™ll find it pictured here, ready for your coloring enjoyment. This coloring book also offers plenty of facts about the Park, its many animals (peaceful and otherwise), and, hopefully, a few tips to help you stay alive during your stay in the Nationโ€™s First National Park.

Adult coloring book, recommended for Mature Colorists. 32 pages depicting 11 gruesome ways to die in Yellowstone National Park. Book measures 8 inches by 10 3/4 inches. Saddle-stitched binding. Printed in the USA.

Cowboy State Daily reports that one of the first pages available for coloring shows a bison impaling a young woman who is holding a selfie stick. Another page reportedly shows a tourist taking a photo on her smartphone of a bubbling corpse boiling in a hot spring while a young boy watches with a juice box in his hand. And it doesnโ€™t stop there.

The coloring book is well received on Amazon, with dozens of five-star reviews. Readers/colorers love it.

โ€œI had a lot of fun coloring these pages and learned a lot about how to not die in Yellowstone National Park,โ€ one reviewer wrote.

Even with the publication of a book as comical and informative as this one, unfortunate mishaps among visitors in Yellowstone National Park are unlikely to stop anytime soon.
