Reading McCarthy is a podcast with more than 250,000 downloads, devoted to the consideration and discussion of the works of one of the greatest American writers, Cormac McCarthy. In this book, the episodes focused on McCarthy's seminal southern works have been wrestled into print. Host Scott Yarbrough is joined by different well-known Cormackian readers, scholars, and other experts to help readers explore different works and various essential aspects of McCarthy's formative early works.

These discussions help readers delve into the deep wilds, dark groves, back alleys and badlands of Cormac McCarthy. Scholars joining Yarbrough in the book include officers of the Cormac McCarthy society, the editor of the Cormac McCarthy Journal, past and current presidents of the society, and such important McCarthy scholars as Dianne Luce, Stacey Peebles, Steve Frye, Bill Hardwick, Nell Sullivan, Bryan Giemza, Lydia Cooper, and Bryan Vescio.
