Blood Meridian

Or the Evening Redness in the West

Cormac McCarthy

Explore the savage, violent world of America's westward expansion in this subversive epic novel. Based on real historical events, follow the story of a 14-year-old boy who gets caught up in a horrifying world of scalp-hunting and murder on the Texas-Mexico border in the 1850s. Blood Meridian is a dark and twisted take on the Western genre, challenging the myths and legends of the Wild West.
