Appalachia is set with Biblical prose cast amoungst antediluvian evils feasting upon the souls of those foolish to invite the darkness.  A private apocalypse vivisected for our viewing.  McCarthy's words are plain, honest and brutal.  A masterwork to be held up to leviathans such as Faulkner and Bellow.
