The Road, Cormac McCarthy (2006). Conceptual cover designs for the apocalyptic sci-fi modern classic: A father and his son walk alone through burned America. Nothing moves in the ravaged landscape except the ash on the wind. It is cold enough to crack stones, and when the snow falls it is gray. The sky is dark. Their destination is the coast, although they don’t know what, if anything, awaits them there. They have nothing, just a pistol to defend themselves, the clothes they are wearing, a cart of scavenged food, and each other.
