A list of works by or about Cormac McCarthy, the American novelist, playwright, and screenwriter. McCarthy published twelve novels, spanning the Southern Gothic, Western, and post-apocalyptic genres, as well as multiple short-stories, screenplays, plays, and an essay.
In 1985, he published Blood Meridian, which received a lukewarm response. The novel has since gained great esteem and is often seen as his magnum opus — some have even labelled it the Great American Novel.[1]
The Gardener's Son (airdate January 1977) was broadcast as part of a series for PBS. McCarthy wrote the screenplay upon request for director Richard Pearce.[8] The screenplay was published as a book in 1996.
In 2009, Outer Dark was made into a 15-minute short film (directed by Stephen Imwalle)[14] released on the U.S. festival circuit.
Rumored
A film adaptation of Blood Meridian has been rumored for years; James Franco, Todd Field, Scott Rudin, and Ridley Scott have been connected at one point or another to the project, which has fallen through at least twice.[15][16]
