Blood Meridian is a novel by Cormac McCarthy that follows a teenage runaway known only as ‘the kid’ as he joins a scalp-hunting expedition in the American Southwest. The book explores themes of violence, nihilism, and the brutal nature of humanity. McCarthy’s stark prose and vivid imagery create a haunting portrait of the American West in the mid-19th century. #BloodMeridian #CormacMcCarthy #WesternNovel
