The Queen of Halloween 365
Cozy Halloween Stories,
365 Days a Year
I’m Michelle Carlbert. I write cozy stories for my Halloween-loving community, plus the Hallowdin book series: comforting tales from a forever-autumn town where the candles are always lit and the pumpkins always glow.

Hello, Ghoulies! Come On In.
Pour yourself something warm and pull up a chair by the candlelight. I’m Michelle, though most folks know me as The Queen of Halloween 365. For me, the magic of Halloween isn’t just one night in October. It’s a feeling I carry all year long: crisp leaves, glowing pumpkins, and a little bit of wonder.
I started my Halloween page back in 2015. In early 2025, I began sharing cozy stories with our wonderful community, and you kept asking for more. Many of those stories found their way to one special little town, Hallowdin, and readers asked to hold them in their hands. So I put them in a book, and now there are two.
Today, nearly 200,000 Halloween lovers follow along on Facebook. Whether you have five minutes with your morning coffee or a whole quiet evening to curl up in Hallowdin, you’ve come to the right place.
Stay cozy,
Michelle
