Review of 'Blood Meridian'.

Blood Meridian exists on a level all its own. A western novel at its core, it meets, and then some, all of the needs of the category. There had been a John Glanton and a gang of scalp hunters under contract to the Mexican Governor of Chihuahua. John Glanton was a Texan originally from South Carolina by way of Tennessee, like so many other Texans. A western novel at its core, it meets, and then some, all of the prerequisites of the class.

Theres bloody action, conflict, violence, gunplay, the untouched spaces of the land of the North American Southwest, and of similar importance, the Mexican Northwest. The banality of this hell world maybe is its most annoying undercurrent. Broadcast in 1986, Blood Meridian is intrinsically ageless. He had an especially colourful background like so many other Texan pathfinders. Blood Meridian is also an advisory story on the hazards of privatization of army and law enforcement. Shades of todays Blackwater and non-public mercenary groups in the Middle East and now more here in the US. The outsourcing of the conflict in Chihuahua against the Apaches finished in disaster.
