Blood Meridian

by Cormac McCarthy · 1985

★★★★½ 4.5/5 · ALLO'S PICK
A scalp-hunting party moves across the Texas-Mexico borderlands in the 1840s, leaving nothing but ruin. McCarthy's most ambitious novel — the Judge is one of literature's great monsters.
Allo's take
Forbidding and inexhaustible. If you've been putting it off, this is the nudge. It will change how you think about violence and American mythology.
