Blood Meridian - Numbered Edition

Cormac McCarthy presents an epic and brutal journey across the border between Mexico and the United States in the 19th century. A young deserter finds himself caught up in a scalp-hunting enterprise against Native Americans, constantly confronted with violence, death, and the existence of an evil that seems to transcend human understanding.

A novel of visceral, poetic prose that questions the nature of violence, destiny, and morality, cementing McCarthy as one of the greatest American writers.
