About this product

Product Information

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.

  • Outer Dark

    Cormac McCarthy's second novel, Outer Dark, offers a world abstract and idiosyncratic. The twin narratives of siblings Rinthy and Culla Holmes follow their wanderings of the darkest corners of the Appalachians, toward each of their separate fates. Each journey is entwined by the Tinker, a man out of an even older age, and three nebulous murders who are carving across the countryside. The prose is beautifully dark and eerie, and seems to make sparse of the world at large. The copy I purchased from this seller was in great condition.
