A masterwork that hits all of the dots, Blood Meridian has lyricism, poetry, account, and musings philosophic, intertwined with sheer horror, populated by atrocious characters that are still totally plausible in all of their overboard malevolent. Printed in 1986, Blood Meridian is intrinsically ageless.
There had been a John Glanton and a gang of scalp hunters under contract to the Mexican Governor of Chihuahua. 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 overboard malevolent. Oh, lets not forget sheer enigma that comes thru as just the facts, just the way that it is. The banality of this h ell world maybe is its most annoying undercurrent. Printed in 1986, Blood Meridian is intrinsically eternal. The outsourcing of the conflict in Chihuahua against the Apaches climaxed in catastrophe. The historic threads, good and malevolent, the mythology and fact. Set against a tripartite of a Mexican, Anglo, and Indigenous American back drop Maybe the most fantastic thing about this novel is that while nothing good actually ever occurs, Mcarthy trains you not to expect it.
