NATIONAL BESTSELLERWINNER OF THE PULITZER PRIZEThe searing, post-apocalyptic novel about a father and son's fight to survive.A father and his son walk alone through burned America. Nothing moves in the ravaged landscape save 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 against the lawless bands that stalk the road, the clothes they are wearing, a cart of scavenged foodand each other.The Roadis the profoundly moving story of a journey. It boldly imagines a future in which no hope remains, but in which the father and his son, "each the other's world entire," are sustained by love. Awesome in the totality of its vision, it is an unflinching meditation on the worst and the best that we are capable of: ultimate destructiveness, desperate tenacity, and the tenderness that keeps two people alive in the face of total devastation.A New York Times Notable BookOne of the Best Books of the YearThe Boston Globe, The Christian Science Monitor, The Denver Post, The Kansas City Star, Los Angeles Times, New York, People, Rocky Mountain News, Time, The Village Voice, The Washington Post, Vintage Books, 3, Putnam.

It was the custom then for men such as myself, well-bred and hopelessly in debt, to perform a tour of the Continent.... I wanted to sample new pleasures, new sensations and delights.... The famed nineteenth-century romantic poet and rake, Lord Byron, comes to life with incendiary brilliance in Tom Holland's LORD OF THE DEAD. Rousingly acclaimed in England, this spellbinding blend of gothic imagination and documented fact blazes across the contemporary fiction scene with all the hypnotic power of Anne Rice's Interview with the Vampire and the hauntingly authentic settings that distinguished Caleb Carr's The Alienist. Wandering with his friend Hobhouse in the mountains of Greece, Byron is drawn to the beauty of a mysterious fugitive slave whose pale, slim body and burning, black-fringed eyes arouse his lust; soon Byron is utterly entranced, and his fate is sealed. The supreme sensualist embarks on a life of adventure even his genius could not have foreseen - that of the world's most formidable vampire. Chosen to enjoy powers beyond those any vampire has ever known, Byron enters a dark, intoxicating world, traversing centuries of long-lost secrets, ancient arts and scorching excesses of evil. From the Levant to London's salons, from the frozen Alps to the dark languors of Venice, he drinks deeply of terror and sex, ever more desperate to destroy his need for the most forbidden of desires. But his diversions, delicious and cruel, are suffused with the rich scent of doom. Byron's gift is also his torment: an all-consuming thirst that withers life at the root, damning those he loves.... Like a shower of blood gleaming on fresh snow, LORD OF THE DEAD captures us in its spell, page by mesmerizing page. Once begun, it cannot be resisted; this dazzling tour de force will piece you the core with intense, lingering pleasure. Richly layering his story with wonderfully imagined characters, Tom Holland conjures up a fever dream of a novel, a tantalizing version of Byron's life, and a marvelously entertaining read..
