Blood Meridian (1985)

Howdy there, partner! Welcome back to the Year of the Horse (YH)! That's right, folks, for the Night Shift's fifth horror western shift in our yearlong special, Kyle (Stück Cassidy) & Noah Baslé (The Magnificent Crepe) read the epic historical novel BLOOD MERIDIAN (1985) by Cormac McCarthy. The Kid, a fourteen-year-old Tennessean, must confront the extraordinary brutality of the Glanton gang, a murderous cadre on an official mission to scalp Indians. Seeming to preside over this nightmarish world is the diabolical Judge Holden, one of the most unforgettable characters in American fiction. So, is this book any good? Well, give this review a listen and find out...if you DAAAaaaare!
