‘Tis the season of giving gifts and the greatest gift you can give is that of fear, so let …With Intent to Commit Horror help you by finding just the right scare for your loved one with books available through these trusted online bookstores.”
The Road is the first horror book by Cormac McCarthy. Its apocalyptic vision of a father and son trying to survive against overwhelming odds makes this one of the most powerful stories of 2007.
I include this here because finally — FINALLY — this book has a decent cover — even if it is a still from the movie.

The RoadAuthor: McCarthy, Cormac |

Winner of the 2007 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction. The searing, post-apocalyptic novel destined to become Cormac McCarthy’s masterpiece. A father and his son walk alone through burned America. Nothing moves in the ravaged landscape save the ash on the wind. It is cold enough to crack stones, and when the snow falls it is gray. The sky is dark. Their destination is the coast, although they don’t know what, if anything, awaits them there. They have nothing; just a pistol to defend themselves against the lawless bands that stalk the road, the clothes they are wearing, a cart of scavenged food — and each other. The Road is the profoundly moving story of a journey. It boldly imagines a future in which no hope remains, but in which the father and his son, “each the other’s world entire,” are sustained by love. Awesome in the totality of its vision, it is an unflinching meditation on the worst and the best that we are capable of: ultimate destructiveness, desperate tenacity, and the tenderness that keeps two people alive in the face of total devastation. |
