Blood Meridian, or The Evening Redness in the West is a 1985 novel by American author Cormac McCarthy. It is a violent and philosophical Western that follows a teenage runaway known only as 'the kid' as he joins a gang of scalp hunters in the 1850s American Southwest.
I imagine it like blood meridian like like McCarthy's McCarthy's book where basically you know like follows a story of like this kid who goes on a scalping mission
