Sixteen-year-old John Grady Cole's grandfather has just died, his parents have permanently separated, and the family ranch, upon which he had placed so many boyish hopes, has been sold.

Story
Outer Dark is a novel at once fabular and starkly evocative, set is an unspecified place in Appalachia, sometime around the turn of the century. A woman bears her brother's child, a boy; he leaves the baby in the woods and tells her he died of natural causes. Discovering her brother's lie, she sets forth alone to find her son. Both brother and sister wander separately through a countryside being scourged by three terrifying and elusive strangers, headlong toward an eerie, apocalyptic resolution.

Story
It is three in the morning when Bobby Western plunges from the Coast Guard tender into darkness. His dive light illuminates the sunken jet, nine bodies still buckled in their seats, hair floating, eyes devoid of speculation. Missing from the site are the pilot’s bag, the plane’s black box, and the tenth passenger. A collateral witness to machinations that can only bring him harm, Western is shadowed in body and spirit—by men with badges; by the ghost of his father, inventor of the bomb that melted glass and flesh in Hiroshima; and by his sister, the love and ruin of his soul.

Story
America is a barren landscape of smoldering ashes, devoid of life except for those people still struggling to scratch out some type of existence. Amidst this destruction, a father and his young son walk, always toward the coast, but with no real understanding that circumstances will improve once they arrive. Still, they persevere, and their relationship comes to represent goodness in a world of utter devastation.

McCarthy dares you to accept his vision
Like other stuff by CM, this one makes you suspend a whole lot of esthetic instincts in order to go where he want to take you. This kind of history is sorely lacking in education today, and Blood Meridian dares you to accept that the west could truly be this brutal. And the strength and integrity of this production forces us to accept it as truth, and deal with it. Not for the faint of heart.

Amazing story
Yes it is violent and macabre but you know that going in. It is a beautiful piece of writing. Utterly terrifying and not for the faint of heart. Dive in and get ready for a great story.

Grotesque and Depraved
What can I say? Not a single likable character in the whole book and the central character is a depraved and grotesque man who lacks any sort of redeemable features. The narrator does a good job with the southern drawl and the reader gets a brief history lesson on white hats and blue bills . I suppose it wasn'ta terrible book as the writing of Cormac is always beautifully descriptive just wasn't my cup of tea .
