A violent fever dream about violence. One third of the book is landscape descriptions, just warning in case you're not into that.

One of the best books I've ever read. Pic related is recommended parallel reading, but not necessary.

I'm not very well read. In fact, I didn't even read this one, I listened to the audiobook. But the Blood Meridian audiobook is the best book I've either read or listened to. Absolutely jaw dropping prose, and deeply memorable characters.

This one is good because it is almost entirely on the historical accuracy of the work instead of some "critical analysis". Sepich has done amazing work.
