Blood meridian
This book is saturated with blood. We follow a young man, known only as ‘the kid’, until he joins up with a group of scalphunters lead by a man named Glanton and a mysterious judge named Holden. The Glanton Gang murder, torture, and burn just about everything they come across. McCarthy used the violence in the book as a part of the setting, just like the desert, or the horses. It was constant. The horror was constant. There is an underlying terror here as well. Things unsaid or alluded to that we just don’t want to admit we know. These allusions create the monster that is the judge.
