JOE POWERS is a Canadian horror writer with a fondness for literary sleight-of-hand. He loves the idea of prompting a strong emotional reaction using no more than words and his slightly off-center imagination, and he delights in taking the reader on journeys to previously unexplored regions. He occasionally dabbles in genres that follow safer, more conventional routes, but the path he loves most is the twisted, winding one that leads through those dark, shadowy corners of the mind, where unseen things creep and slither and nothing is ever entirely as it seems.

Joe got his publishing start in a small online magazine called Bread N Molasses which showcased the uncharacteristically touching holiday story The Christmas Storm. This unlikely platform was the springboard to his true calling, from which he embarked upon an enthusiastic flurry of activity. Over the years he’s had numerous stories published in anthologies at home and abroad.

To date, Joe has published two novels as well as Old Bones, a collection of his short stories.
