Cormac McCarthy reads like my pretentious English professor acts- like he thinks he so smart and better than everyone else just because he doesn't follow pop culture and used ambiguity and no context. I'd give him no stars if that was an option

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.
