Review of 'Blood Meridian'.

Blood Meridian exists on a level all its own. Theres bloody action, conflict, violence, gunplay, the untouched spaces of the land of the North American Southwest, and just as critical, the Mexican Northwest. A masterwork that hits all of the dots, Blood Meridian has lyricism, poetry, account, and musings philosophic, intertwined with sheer horror, populated by dreadful characters that are still totally plausible in all of their overboard malignant.

The banality of this hell world maybe is its most annoying undercurrent. John Glanton was a Texan originally from South Carolina by way of Tennessee, like so many other Texans. Blood Meridian is also an advisory story on the dangers of privatization of army and law enforcement.

Blood Meridian exists on a level all its own. There had been a John Glanton and a gang of scalp hunters under contract to the Mexican Governor of Chihuahua. He had a particularly colourful background like so many other Texan front runners. Here's a good item re teacup chihuahua. The outsourcing of the struggle in Chihuahua against the Apaches finished in disaster.
