Welcome!
I’m New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Michele Bardsley of Funny Freaky Fiction. I like zombie movies, all the dogs, and chocolate as dark as my soul.

You can find me on Mastodon, Medium, Notes, and Radish. I write true crime articles on The Crime Wire as Michele Freeman.
Look, I know we just met, but … how about I send you awesome fictional experiences about once or twice a week for FREE?
Sometimes, you’ll get comically creepy chronicles from The Winchester Hotel or a macabre Merry Makeup tale, access to my NoSleep horror stories, and weekly podcast episodes about ghost hunting private detective Violetta Graves.
BUT WAIT…
