Mnemovore by Hans Rodionoff, Ray Fawke, and Mike Huddleston; horror, graphic novel; 160 pages
Kaley is one of the top snowboarders in the world, so she's used to broken bones and sprains. But when she suffers a traumatic head injury, Kaley loses large chunks of her memory, and she has to re-learn her life. A the weeks pass, Kaley struggles to remember her likes and dislikes, her relationships, and her habits, but she also begins to notice...creatures at the edge of her vision that no one else seems to see. Then the people around her start to forget. Little things at first, but there are larger and larger gaps in their memories, and only Kaley seems to notice.
Loved this. Read it in a single sitting. The art is slick and appealing, and the atmosphere is especially creepy. I can't talk about my favorite device, which doesn't appear until the end, but I really enjoyed the creative spin on storytelling here, as well as the horror-movie feel of the whole book.
