Looking for some writers that are similar to Cormac Mccarthy in terms of prose and descriptions. Bonus points for Southern Gothic or bleak vibes.

Do I have to be American or a stoic manly-man to understand this book? I liked The Road but Blood Meridian isn't clicking for me. The prose is often difficult to follow and I don't care about anything that's happening, so I find myself drifting off pretty often. I like the imagery but I don't care about America, cowboys, the old west or reflections on masculinity and stocism.

What do?

Something more readable to read please Anonymous Tue Aug 7 18:52:39 2018 No.11585350 [View]

I decided to branch out from 19th century novels, and try something more recent....

Wow I got 5 pages into this. Maybe I'm just a dumbass or maybe it's badly written.

OP clicked Post. His mind was at rest now. Strangers across the world awakaned at once. A buffalo farted in the distance knowingly.
