Brutally violent, Blood Meridian is the story of one teenage runaway in the nineteenth-century American South, as a sadistic gang unleashes its massacre across the desert land. It is the work that sealed Cormac McCarthy's reputation as one of the twentieth century's greatest writers ? his magnum opus.
?[A] brilliant, uncompromising work of fiction ? imagine if the authors of the King James Bible, their hands guided by Satan, wrote a western? ? The Times
Through the hostile landscape of the Texas?Mexico border wanders the Kid, a fourteen year-old Tennessean who is quickly swept up in the relentless tide of blood.
A group known as the Glanton gang hunt Indigenous Americans, collecting scalps as their bloody trophies. At the centre of this violence stands Judge Holden: a massive, hairless man, mysterious if not supernatural, erudite and cold-blooded. He is singularly extreme in his sadistic violence.
But the apparent chaos is not without order ? the Glanton gang, too, are stalked as prey.
Read as both a brilliant subversion of the Western novel and a blazing example of that form, it is a powerful, mesmerizing and savagely beautiful novel ? and one of the most important works in American fiction of the last century.
?In Blood Meridian, McCarthy reaches the peak of his style: spare and ornate at once, repetitious but endlessly readable? ? Guardian
