So says Mark, a lover crossed by Death and subsequently raped of his wife Sarah. But Music is a powerful entity, an art form far more potent than any other, an ever-evolving creature of its own design. For Mark and Sarah, it shows itself as "Forever Lovers," the song played at their wedding to which they first danced, man and wife. But neither can know how prophetic these words, and neither, Mark especially, can prepare themselves for the motivations it will catalyze.

Except Dr. William Drake, who has prepared himself for a career-changing event of this caliber his entire life and will follow-up on it at anyone's expense, perhaps even his own.

Forever Lovers is a 20k word novella by Shawn James with cover photography by Nathan Combs and interior art by award-winning Russell Dickerson. It is published in the same pocket-sized format as Wicked Hollow magazine, with red, textured cardstock cover and crisp interior pages. This is the first volume of the annual novella Wicked Gluttony series, an annual supplement to Wicked Hollow, and Blindside Publishing's first book release.

"Shawn James's Forever Lovers is a provocative and heartfelt meditation on the power and consequences of love, and deals effectively with the reality of the dead among the living."
--Gerard Houarner, author of The Beast That Was Max and Visions Through a Shattered Lens
