    Damn, sad to hear. Incredibly unique writer. Heard he was working on the screenplay for Blood Meridian recently with John Hillcoat, I hope they were able to get some good work done on that, I would love to see that book attempted on the big screen. RIP

      Blood Meridian is a pretty unforgettable read. I didn’t really know anything about it when starting it beside it being a western and known as a book worth reading. Let’s just say that it was quite different from the stereotypical western that I expected. It’ll be very interesting to see how the movie turns out.

      Also read The Road a long time ago and for whatever reason I never realized that he authored them both, although I should have expected based on the bleakness of them both.
