Cormac is one of those authors who I absolutely love, just love so deeply on an almost personal level.

But who I can only make contact with once every couple of years, and only with preparation. He's just so, so bleak.

The Road put me in a bad place mentally for two or three years. Outer Dark still fucks with me when I think about it. Blood Meridian. Just that. Just the title.

He's the kind of author that I want to recommend to everyone, but also have to add an asterisk of what to be careful of.
