I read Blood Meridian last year, and have honestly never read anything like it before. It’s the most utterly beautiful, most absolutely depraved book I’ve ever read. It’s a masterpiece, and it’s horrific.
Similarly, The Road, which just left me numb when I finished it. Glad I’d read it, but numb.
One hell of a writer. #RIP
