The Ballad of Horse Girl - Bitter Karella

California, 1860. The corrupt judge and snake oil baron, Lazarus Dives, murdered her family; now the nameless drifter known only as the Horse Girl is out for revenge. But can a man who's sold his soul to the devil for eternal life be killed? It'll be no easy task; but with extra motivation in the form of a bounty on the judge by Death herself, the Horse Girl plans to collect-even if it costs her soul. A classic Western tale of retribution meets supernatural horror.
