Prepare to lose yourself in the heady, mythical expanse of┬аThe Vorrh, a daring debut that Alan Moore has called тАЬa phosphorescent masterpieceтАЭ and тАЬthe current century's first landmark work of fantasy.тАЭ┬а
Next to the colonial town of Essenwald sits the Vorrh, a vastтАФperhaps endlessтАФforest. It is a place of demons and angels, of warriors and priests. Sentient and magical, the Vorrh bends time and wipes ┬аmemory. Legend has it that the Garden of Eden still exists at its heart. Now, a renegade English soldier aims to be the first human to traverse its expanse. Armed with only a strange bow, he begins his journey, but some fear the consequences of his mission, and a native marksman has been chosen to stop him. Around them swirl a remarkable cast of characters, including a Cyclops raised by robots and a young girl with tragic curiosity, as well as historical figures, such as writer Raymond Roussel and photographer and Edward Muybridge.┬а While fact and fictional blend, and the hunter will become the hunted, and everyoneтАЩs fate hangs in the balance, under the will of the Vorrh.┬а
