Blood Meridian, or, the Evening Redness in the West
ByPublisher Description
Blood Meridian is an epic novel of the violence and depravity that attended America's westward expansion, brilliantly subverting the conventions of the Western novel and the mythology of the Wild West. Based on historical events that took place on the Texas-Mexico border in the 1850s, it traces the fortunes of the Kid, a fourteen-year-old Tennesseean who stumbles into a nightmarish world where Indians are being murdered and the market for their scalps is thriving.

“Holy Shit. Nightmare Fuel. Relentless. Perhaps the most challenging thing I’ve ever read. Would I recommend it? No. Will I ever forget it? Also no.”
“Cormac’s masterpiece. There’s a reason this book is the subject of debate and conversation. His writing is biblical, every word perfectly. You can almost smell the scenes, see the carnage. This one stayed with me for almost two decades after the first read, and hits harder this second time around. Have I gotten everything I need out of this book? Likely not. See you again Cormac.”
