Review of 'Blood Meridian'.

A western novel at its core, it satisfies, and then some, all of the requirements of the class. Chihuahua club. A masterwork that hits all of the dots, Blood Meridian has lyricism, poetry, story, and musings philosophic, intertwined with sheer horror, populated by dreadful characters that are still definitely plausible in all of their OTT malicious. The banality of this hell world maybe is its most annoying undercurrent. There had been a John Glanton and a gang of scalp hunters under contract to the Mexican Governor of Chihuahua. 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. The outsourcing of the struggle in Chihuahua against the Apaches climaxed in disaster. The historic threads, good and noxious, the mythology and fact. The outsourcing of the conflict in Chihuahua against the Apaches finished in disaster.
