About this book

Blood Meridian, or the Evening Redness in the West, is Cormac McCarthy's novel of the American frontier in the middle of the nineteenth century. It follows a teenage runaway known only as the kid, who joins a band of scalp hunters led by Captain Glanton as they ride across the Texas and Mexico borderlands after the Mexican-American War. Another member of the group, the huge and learned Judge Holden, becomes the book's most unsettling figure. McCarthy writes in dense, biblical prose, and the novel is based on a real historical account of a gang that hunted scalps. The book is very violent and is often named among the most important American novels of the twentieth century.
