Product Description

 
Cormac McCarthy's 1968 novel (his second) begins with the birth of a child to Rinthy Holme--a baby boy, who is taken off to the woods and left to die by Culla, Rinthy's brother--who is also the baby's father. Believing her son to be alive, Rinthy undertakes a quest to find him, and Culla begins to roam the Appalachian countryside on a mysterious quest of his own. He is menaced by three strangers--symbols perhaps of Culla's guilt--who commit heinous crimes for which Culla is blamed. McCarthy's dark tale has been compared to the kind of harsh folk fables that have traditionally been part of mountain culture.

Review: Pick up a rock in a moist garden, turn it over, and you might find a few bugs making their home on the underside. Viewing the garden from above we see only green and cheery life, but under the surface lies an underworld of creatures we are mostly...

Date of Review:  Mar 18, 2007
The Bottom Line: The mounting fear of a horror novel makes this Southern Gothic piece really stand out. Incest, murder, dashed dreams- yep, sounds like a Cormac McCarthy book.
Review: If I ever received an invitation to stay at the house of Cormac McCarthy, I'd probably accept it. However, I'd likely pull the dresser in front of the bedroom door before calling it a day; there are some truly sinister things rattling around in that...

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.
