McCarthy simplified his style dramatically with "No Country For Old Men". That novel, and the ones following, are of course still tremendous but lack the almost mythological force of language of his earlier stuff.
My personal early-style favourites: "Child Of God", "Blood Meridian" (of course), "The Crossing"
Later style: "The Road"
