From Covers to Creeps – A Conversation with Joey Powell

In this episode of Ink Blots, host Rob Southgate talks with multitalented horror creator Joey Powell — a writer, publisher, cover designer, and actor whose passion for the weird and wicked spans from bookshelves to film sets. Joey shares how his day job in tech fuels his late-night obsession with horror fiction, and how that energy comes to life in his stories, short films, and the books he brings to life through Mad Axe Media.

We dive into Joey’s creative process, indie publishing, and how designing book covers informs his storytelling. Plus, he reflects on acting in award-winning horror shorts, and the storytelling power of visuals in both print and film.
