Wicked Gluttony, Volume One: Wicked Gluttony is an annual supplement to Wicked Hollow magazine, published in the same format. It is pocket-sized, approximately the size of a man's wallet, with textured card stock cover and crisp, bright interior pages.

November 2002 brings us to the first ever volume of Wicked Gluttony, Forever Lovers by Shawn James.

"I think of songs as little demigods floating through the ether, invisible but potent entities that bring order to the chaos of life by flagging its precious moments . . . The link between music and memory is universal to the human experience, and that's especially true of that one song we hold closest to our heart, the one that evokes our strongest memories and emotions."

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.

"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

"Shawn James's Forever Lovers is a nicely crafted and highly entertaining tale that is as thought-provoking and often touching as it is horrifying. As odd as this may sound, think George Romero meets Erich Segal. Lots of fun."
--Greg F. Gifune, author of The Bleeding Season, Night Work, Heretics, and Down To Sleep
