Condition: Bueno. : Blood Meridian is an epic novel of the violence and depravity that attended America's westward expansion, brilliantly subverting the conventions of the Western novel and the mythology of the Wild West. Based on historical events that took place on the Texas-Mexico border in the 1850s, it traces the fortunes of the Kid, a fourteen-year-old Tennesseean who stumbles into a nightmarish world where Indians are being murdered and the market for their scalps is thriving. '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". "I have rarely encountered anything as powerful, as unsettling, or as memorable as "Blood Meridian".A nightmare odyssey" - "Evening Standard". "His masterpiece.The book reads like a conflation of the "Inferno", "The Iliad" and "Moby Dick". I can only declare that "Blood Meridian" is unlike anything I have read in recent years, and seems to me an extraordinary, breathtaking achievement" - John Banville.

One miniscule spot to top edge, else FINE; very small nick to tail of DJ spine, exceedingly crisp and bright otherwise. McCarthy's fifth novel, first western, and first and only written in the full freedom of his mature style. Upon publication a few critics saluted its genius but 1985 America didn't have much appetite for such a blatantly grotesque apocalypse of the American drive West; Ahearn states only 1,500 copies sold (others have claimed 1,883) of 5,000 printed in the first edition, the rest marred with the dread felt remainder pen. Its commercial flop was a failure of the reading public not seen since Moby Dick, whose style and content Blood Meridian is often compared to. Following the success of the Border Trilogy, readers returned to Blood Meridian finding in it the purest distillate of McCarthy's powers, a perfectly harnessed thunderstrike which he had the wisdom to never attempt again. 'And another thing,' to quote Mark Hime, 'Blood Meridian has all the charm of cutting into a loaf of bread and finding a dead mouse, so don't take a shower before reading this book, because you are going to need a long one afterwards.'.
