The premise

Soon after Gogol's death, Binh names him guilty for the deaths of the Cossacks and the young women at the hands of the Dark Horseman, since he was the one who ordered them to be hidden in the barn. Bomgart is unable to perform a post-mortem analysis on the Gogol's body, while Vakula's daughter Vasilina (who secretly has magic abilities) proclaims denial about Gogol's demise.

Horror Vault's take

Set in the shadowy world of 19th-century Ukrainian folklore, this chapter of the Gogol saga plunges deeper into the sinister mystery surrounding the Dark Horseman and the deaths that have haunted the region. Accusations fly and alliances fracture as the line between the living and the dead grows disturbingly thin. With hidden powers stirring and dark forces refusing to rest, the story builds toward a reckoning steeped in Slavic myth and Gothic dread. This Russian period horror-thriller delivers brooding atmosphere and supernatural intrigue in equal measure.
