25th ANNIVERSARY EDITION * An epic novel of the violence and depravity that attended Americas westward expansion, Blood Meridian brilliantly subverts the conventions of the Western novel and the mythology of the Wild West-from the bestselling, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Road Based on historical events that took place on the Texas-Mexico border in the 1850s, it traces the fortunes of the Kid, a fourteen-year-old Tennesseean who stumbles into the nightmarish world where Indians are being murdered and the market for their scalps is thriving. Look for Cormac McCarthys new novel, The Passenger, coming October 22. Review The men as they rode turned black in the sun from the blood on their clothes and their faces and then paled slowly in the rising dust until they assumed once more the color of the land through which they passed. If what we call horror can be seen as including any literature that has dark, horrific subject matter, then Blood Meridian is, in this reviewers estimation, the best horror novel ever written. Its a perverse, picaresque Western about bounty hunters for Indian scalps near the Texas-Mexico border in the 1850s--a ragged caravan of indiscriminate killers led by an unforgettable human monster called The Judge. Imagine the imagery of Sam Peckinpah and Heironymus Bosch as written by William Faulkner, and youll have just an inkling of this novels power. From the opening scenes about a 14-year-old Tennessee boy who joins the band of hunters to the extraordinary, mythic ending, this is an American classic about extreme violence. Review A classic American novel of regeneration through violence. McCarthy can only be compared to our greatest writers, with Melville and Faulkner, and this is his masterpiece. -Michael Herr McCarthy is a writer to be read, to be admired, and quite honestly-envied. -Ralph Ellison McCarthy is a born narrator, and his writing has, line by line, the stab of actuality. He is here to stay. -Robert Penn Warren From the Inside Flap An epic novel of the violence and depravity that attended Americas westward expansion, Blood Meridianbrilliantly subverts the conventions of the Western novel and the mythology of the wild west.

See the child. He is pale and thin, he wears a thin and ragged linen shirt. He stokes the scullery fire. Outside lie dark turned fields with rags of snow and darker woods beyond that harbor yet a few last wolves. His folk are known for hewers of wood and drawers of water but in truth his father has been a schoolmaster. He li
