By Cormac McCarthy, the author of the critically acclaimed Border Trilogy, Outer Dark is a novel at once mythic and starkly evocative, set in an unspecified place in Appalachia sometime around the turn of the century. A woman bears her brother's child, a boy; the brother 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.

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. First Edition. Signed by Author(s) A really fine book in a really fine DW, this is a first English edition/ first English impression in absolutely fabulous condition. The only flaw is a small ink mark on the reverse of the FEP which has been tipexed out but is still visible on both sides. The bookplate is one of two given to by PETER STRAUS who was the great mans publisher at PICADOR. This was the great writers second novel after "THE ORCHARD KEEPER". This is a great read and you can see how he was progressing towards his later books "BLOOD MERIDIAN" and "THE ROAD". This is NOT an ex-library book, it is NOT remaindered and is NOT foxed the pages are clean, bright and tight. The bookplate is loosely laid in on the titlepage. A rare find, in pristine condition.
