'I have rarely encountered anything as powerful, as unsettling, or as memorable as Blood Meridian ... A nightmare odyssey' Evening Standard
Cormac McCarthy is the author of ten acclaimed novels, most recently The Road. Among his honours are the National Book Award and the National Book Critics Circle Award.
Cormac McCarthy's violent lyric masterpiece, Blood Meridian
acquires an amoral, apocalyptic dimension through the Miltonic
grandeur of the language . . . It is a barbarously poetic odyssey
through a hell without purpose.
*Irish Times*
McCarthy's achievement is to establish a new mythology which is as
potent and vivid as that of the movies, yet one which has
absolutely the opposite effect . . . He is a great writer.
*Independent*
A bloody and starkly beautiful tale.
