What’s Included

Book One: Blood Meridian

Cormac McCarthy

Illustrated by Gérard DuBois

Cormac McCarthy’s Blood Meridian is a searing, brutal vision of the American West – part epic, part fever dream. Following a teenage runaway known only as ‘the Kid’, this modern classic explores violence, fate and the myth of the frontier. Illustrated by award-winning artist Gérard DuBois, this is a visceral reading experience you won’t forget.

Book Two: No Country for Old Men

Cormac McCarthy

Illustrated by Gérard DuBois

Cormac McCarthy’s sparse and beautiful writing is perfectly mirrored by Gérard DuBois’s hauntingly understated images in this Folio book of the Western thriller No Country for Old Men.

Book Three: The Road

Cormac McCarthy

Illustrated by Gérard DuBois

Devastating and deeply human, Cormac McCarthy’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel The Road follows a father and son walking through a post-apocalyptic America, searching for safety and something like hope. Illustrated by Gérard DuBois, this Folio book features a design as haunting as the story itself.

Winner of the Moira Gemmill Illustrator of the Year Prize at the V&A Illustration Awards 2022.

Book Four: All the Pretty Horses

Cormac McCarthy

Illustrated by Gérard DuBois

Cormac McCarthy’s modern Western begins with a sixteen-year-old rancher riding south in search of purpose. The first book in the 'Border Trilogy', All the Pretty Horses is romantic, unflinching and unforgettable. Gérard DuBois brings McCarthy’s world vividly to life once more, with artwork and a striking screen-printed cover that capture the novel’s bleak lyricism.

Book Five: The Crossing

Cormac McCarthy

Illustrated by Gérard DuBois

Cormac McCarthy’s haunting Western begins with a young boy's journey into Mexico in pursuit of a wolf. The second book in the 'Border Trilogy', The Crossing is lyrical, brutal and unforgettable. Series artist Gérard DuBois returns to illustrate, and the book is screen-printed with a striking design that evokes the stark beauty of the narrative.

About the Author

Cormac McCarthy was born in Rhode Island in 1933. He later went to Chicago, where he worked as a mechanic while writing his first novel, The Orchard Keeper, which was published in 1965. After several years touring Europe and then living in Tennessee, in the late 1970s McCarthy moved to Texas, and in 1979 published his fourth novel, Suttree, a book that had occupied his writing life on and off for 20 years. He received a MacArthur Fellowship in 1981, and published his fifth novel, Blood Meridian in 1985 (Folio 2022). All the Pretty Horses, the first volume of the the Border Trilogy, was published in 1992 (Folio 2024). It won both the National Book Award and the National Book Critics Circle Award and was later turned into a feature film. After concluding the Border Trilogy, McCarthy's next novel, No Country for Old Men, was published in 2005 (Folio 2023). This was followed in 2006 by a novel in dramatic form, The Sunset Limited, originally performed by Steppenwolf Theatre Company of Chicago. The Road (2006; Folio 2021) won the Pulitzer Prize. McCarthy died in June 2023.
