As I've read more of McCarthy's novels, it seems to me that a lot of them have themes of apocalypses. The Road, obviously. Blood Meridian is, among other things, about an apocalypse of the native humans and wildlife in North America. The Border Trilogy are about the end of the "the west" and a way of life. I also haven't read Stella Maris yet, but The Passenger features as a theme the end of a family.
