In this episode, we ride into the blood-soaked heart of the American West to explore two masterpieces of violence and myth — Red Rabbit by Alex Grecian and Blood Meridian by Cormac McCarthy. We’ll uncover how both novels turn the frontier into a place of ghosts, gods, and guilt, where witchcraft and war define the human soul. From McCarthy’s cosmic nihilism to Grecian’s gothic vengeance, we trace the evolution of the Western from scripture to séance. Saddle up — this is the Weird West at its most haunting and unforgettable.
