Blood Meridian: Or the Evening Redness in the WestPaperback, 5 May 1992

25th ANNIVERSARY EDITION - From the bestselling, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Road: a****n epic novel of the violence and depravity that attended America's westward expansion, brilliantly subverting the conventions of the Western novel and the mythology of the Wild West.

Based on historical events that took place on the Texas-Mexico border in the 1850s, Blood Meridian 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 McCarthy's latest novels, The Passenger and Stella Maris.
