Cormac McCarthy, who passed away last year, was a giant of American letters. His career spanned six decades, during which he penned a range of novels, plays, and film scripts. He was famous for his distinctive style, frequently violent subject matter, and uncompromising exploration of human nature. His work often delves into themes of survival and existential despair, set against vividly depicted landscapes of the American South and Southwest.

Set in a slightly fantastical version of Appalachia, Outer Dark tells the story of Rinthy and her brother Culla, who has abandoned Rinthy's newborn child in the woods. As Rinthy embarks on a desperate quest to find her baby, Culla drifts through a series of harrowing encounters, haunted by guilt and the consequences of his actions.
