  1. I have read all of McCarthy's work and was trying to find something much like it. I love westerns too. I stumbled across a free download on Amazon called The Flames Of Perdition. It is a Western but has a bit of a twist at the end and is quite like McCarthys work. I think McCarthy was trying to fill the void left by Faulkner and I believe much of his work is a re-hash of Faulkner's, the same Poetic prose, the philosophical undertones, the theme of violence that shapes and moulds the story. Anybody think that No Country For Old Men was his best work??
  2. I recently read a book called the Flames of Perdition which I downloaded for free on Amazon, it was not so much, that it was what I would label as a conventional 'horror', but filled me with dread, especially when I read the terrific unexpected twist at the end and got me thinking about my life in general. It is has a strong Western theme, but do not let that fool you because it has a strong supernatural/horror undertone.
