I remember putting down Blood Meridian and thinking, “that is one disturbed mind”. Felt like I needed to take a shower after reading it to wash the disgust off me.

Blood Meridian is the only novel I've ever read that gave me nightmares. Not even The Exorcist did that.
It might help to know that the novel is based on a true story.
From wiki:
quote:
Blood Meridian is a novel by Cormac McCarthy that is based on the true story of the Glanton gang, a group of scalp hunters who massacred Indigenous Americans and others in the United States–Mexico borderlands in the 1840s and 1850s. The novel follows a fictional character called "the kid" who joins the gang and witnesses their atrocities1. McCarthy also drew from historical sources and real-life murders for other details in the novel.
