Also known as ''Blood Meridian, or the Evening Redness in the West''. It is a 1985 novel, the masterpiece of [[Cormac McCarthy]]. An extremely dark and esoteric novel, it's a total deconstruction of the [[Wild West]] and [[Injun Country]], and its main theme, such as it is, could be reasonably argued to be the darkness and ugliness at the heart of the [[American Dream]]. It was controversial when it came out because of its relentless scenes of amoral violence. It was named by literary critic Harold Bloom as the greatest American novel by a living author.
