Blood Meridian/YMMV


  • Complete Monster: Judge Holden.
  • High Octane Nightmare Fuel: The entire novel. This is not hyperbole - the author goes at great lengths to establish an all pervading mood of desolation, terror and helplessness.
  • Moral Event Horizon: "If we don't kill every last nigger here, we deserve to be whipped and sent home."
    • "War is the ultimate game because war is at last a forcing of the unity of existence. War is god."[1]
  • Squick: The Idiot. The Judge ties a leash around his neck and walks him like a pet, naked and drooling, as he pursues the kid through the bone yard.
  1. ↑ "Brown studied the judge. You're crazy Holden. Crazy at last. The judge smiled."
