Overview
This six-book paperback collection brings together some of Cormac McCarthy's most celebrated novels, from the post-apocalyptic devastation of The Road to the brutal frontier violence of Blood Meridian and the lyrical Border Trilogy.

Perfect for a personal library or gifting to a serious fiction reader.

About the Books
The Road follows a father and son picking their way through a burned-out, ash-choked America, their bond the only warmth in a cold, dying world. Blood Meridian is a hallucinatory reimagining of the American West, following the mysterious Kid through a landscape of violence and moral collapse. No Country for Old Men turns a chance discovery of drug money into a lean, relentless chase across the Texas borderlands, pitting an ageing sheriff against an unstoppable killer. All the Pretty Horses, the first novel in the Border Trilogy, follows young cowboy John Grady Cole into Mexico in search of a life that ranching back home can no longer offer him. The Crossing, the trilogy's second book, sends teenage Billy Parham on a haunting journey across the border, shadowed by loss and the passage of time. Cities of the Plain closes the trilogy, bringing together characters from the two earlier books as the old ways of the West give way to a changing world. Together, these six novels showcase McCarthy's spare, biblical prose and unmatched ability to render landscape as character, offering hours of powerful storytelling from one of the twentieth century's most important novelists.
