Synopsis
Blood Meridian , or the Evening Redness in the West, is a 1985 Western novel by American author Cormac McCarthy. It was McCarthy's fifth book and was published by Random House. The narrative follows a teenage runaway referred to only as "the kid", with the bulk of the text devoted to his experiences with the Glanton gang, a historical group of scalp hunters who massacred Indians and others on the United States–Mexico borderlands in 1849 and 1850.

Reviews
On Jan 22 2024, a reader said:
Random House, 1985, New York. The genuine American apocalyptic novel, in my opinion, is Blood Meridian, which is still relevant today even though it was published fifteen years ago. As Cormac McCarthy is a deserving student of both Melville and Faulkner, the achieved notoriety of Moby-Dick and As I Lay Dying is enhanced by Blood Meridian. A novel as powerful and unforgettable as Blood Meridian has probably not been written by any other contemporary American novelist, not even Thomas Pynchon "(Harold Bloom). According to Michael Herr, McCarthy's work is a masterpiece and can only be compared to the greatest writers of all time, Melville and Faulkner."
I had also reviewed this book on shabd.in and kindle too.

Both majestic and terrible, definitely one of the hallmark pieces of literature from the 20th century. You won't be disappointed!
