Return to the crawling dark of Mnemovore in this first-ever collected edition of the groundbreaking 2005 Vertigo horror series! Kaley Markowic is a world-class athlete, shattered by a calamitous accident. In the struggle to reassemble her mind, she encounters a monstrous, ancient predator hidden outside of normal human perception. Standing by and watching it devour everyone and everything she's ever cared about is not an option...but fighting it might prove to be even worse! By Ray Fawkes (Possessions, The Apocalipstix), Hans Rodionoff (Lovecraft, Man-Thing: Whatever Knows Fear), and Mike Huddleston (The Coffin, Deep Sleeper).

Not sure why so many reviewers mention the "beautiful art". Maybe we just read different comics, but while the art was solid it was nothing special and did nothing to enhance the story.

A somewhat interesting concept, there is little about this story that really jumped out and grabbed me. I probably would have enjoyed it more if it had been shorter. It felt like a lot of things happened that didn't necessarily add to the plot or ambiance.

For all the rather redundant rambling I never felt like any of the characters ended up being fleshed out enough. I certainly couldn't bring myself to care about any of them. And while one of the characters seems to know what's going on I don't think he ever says anything about it...

On the plus side this female character is not a sex object!
