Consider Blood Meridian by Cormac McCarthy. Recommended by 7 sources.
“McCarthy's novel lands as a relentless, haunted frontier epic where ornate, biblical cadence meets steady, shocking cruelty. Reading moves between lyric, often opaque sentences and scenes of unflinching violence rooted in 1850s Texas–Mexico border history. It’s most useful as a text that strips the West’s romance, leaving readers to face myth and atrocity without neat answers. Main limitation: the prose is dense and elliptical, so narrative threads can feel diffuse and readers seeking clear moral anchors or tidy plot arcs will be frustrated.”
