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.

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.”
