    This is funny, I immediately thought of Blood Meridian when I read the post title, then came in and saw another Cormac McCarthy book!

        I’m not even sure why I think of Blood Meridian over The Road. Maybe now that I have child rereading the road would make it worse. But I feel that especially upon a few rereads Blood Meridian has some really dark things happening that aren’t immediately apparent.

        And I suppose part of my choice might be because I find The Judge to be both the most fascinating and horrifying character in anything I’ve read or seen.
