The Road

Cormac McCarthy’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel The Road is presented as a Folio collector’s edition, with artist Gérard DuBois’s beautiful and desolate illustrations and Michael Chabon’s New York Review of Books essay.

Blood Meridian

Multi-layered, violent and beautiful, Cormac McCarthy’s Blood Meridian is a modern classic justly celebrated in this Folio Society edition, illustrated by award-winning artist Gérard DuBois.

No Country for Old Men

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

All the Pretty Horses

This modern classic, masterfully illustrated by Gérard DuBois, captures McCarthy's powerful landscapes and gripping narrative. All the Pretty Horses by Cormac McCarthy, now available in a haunting Folio edition.​

The Crossing

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.
