Introducing: The Road

The great Cormac McCarthy is one of America's most venerated living authors, and The Road is his masterpiece. It's the story of a man and his son trying to survive after global war destroyed all civilization, plants, animals, and quotation marks. The two have nothing but each other and a tiny glimmer of false hope. And of course, all the majesty of the dark, barren, ash-choked apocalyptic wasteland they call home comes to life with the help of our lavish, full-color illustrations.

Yeah, I only drew one tree and just moved it around some. But more impressively, I drew that tree about 8 years ago, back on Windows XP.

Features of this beautiful new volume include:
  • Even less punctuation.
  • 45% more sparse and haunting.
  • Some random untranslated Spanish, just to give you the real McCarthy experience.
  • 30% more bleak.
  • So many cans of peaches. A can of peaches on every page.
  • Optional new, happier ending, where instead of finishing the book you just stop reading and go outside to have a picnic with your loved ones.

We hope you enjoy this wonderful addition to your Modern Illustrated Classics library, just as we hope Cormac McCarthy doesn't find out about this and murder us with a bolt gun.
