Kelly Lidji crawled out of the fog-drenched woods of Lower Slower Delaware with a notebook in one hand and a deeply questionable relationship with ghosts in the other. She does not believe in writer’s block—only in spirits who refuse to cooperate.

Kelly joins The Blackthorn Grove to tell ghost stories, gush about horror movies and get us into the spirit of Halloween.
