From the publisher:

"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."

A classic presented in an affordable paperback edition for you. This is McCarthy's Great Appalachian novel, and it delivers. Eerie, haunting, evocative of spooky hollers. Buy it and read it in a day and be happy you own it.
