I started reading Blood Meridian, because the internet convinced me it holds one of the most evil characters in literature and that alone is one hell of a way to spark curiosity, but I'm 70 pages in and everything the guy has done so far is spread a rumour about random innocent guy, that he's a pedophile. I mean… it for sure is an evil thing to do, but in doesn't make you the most evil literary character – it just makes you Beatrice Sparks. Or basically any homophobic politician for that matter.
