- Blood Meridian, or the Evening Redness in the West is a 1985 Western novel by American author Cormac McCarthy. It was McCarthy's fifth book, and was published by Random House. The narrative follows a teenage runaway referred to only as "the kid", with the bulk of the text devoted to his experiences with the Glanton gang, a historical group of scalp hunters who massacred Indians and others on the United States–Mexico borderlands in 1849 and 1850. The role of antagonist is gradually filled by the end of the novel by the demonic Judge Holden, an extremely large and intelligent man who is utterly devoted to violence and conflict. Much of the book is based on non-fictional Glanton gang member Samuel Chamberlain's My Confession, which has been criticized as unreliable (though Chamberlain himself is not a character in Blood Meridian); nevertheless, Blood Meridian is historically accurate in general, and includes numerous references to contemporary occurrences. Although the novel initially earned lukewarm critical and commercial reception, it has since become widely recognized not only as McCarthy's masterpiece, but also as one of the acclaimed American novels of the 20th century.
- Meridiano di sangue è un romanzo dello scrittore statunitense Cormac McCarthy pubblicato dalla casa editrice Random House nel 1985.

Per i contenuti dell'opera lo scrittore si è basato sul libro di memorie My confession di Samuel Chamberlain, membro della Banda Glanton.
- Blood meridian, or the evening redness in the West (Nederlandse vertaling Meridiaan van bloed, of het avondrood in het Westen) is een roman van de Amerikaanse schrijver Cormac McCarthy, verschenen in 1985. De roman beschrijft historische en gewelddadige gebeurtenissen op de grens tussen de VS en Mexico. Hoofdrolspeler is de naamloze kid (?de jongen?) die zich aansluit bij een bende scalpenjagers. Zij schuimen de grensregio met Mexico af, op zoek naar Indianen. Dé grote tegenstelling in de roman is die tussen de jeugdige en onschuldige jongen en de personificatie van het kwaad, rechter Holden, ook lid van de bende.
