Coal
A young Black man rises from the brutal depths of slavery to unleash a long-overdue scourge of blood-red justice in this relentless Western classic. Revenge has a new name: El Diablo Negrito, and if you have done him or his people wrong, he is coming for you . . .

Since the age of six, young Coal has been chained, beaten, and whipped nearly every day of his life. Forged by this merciless cruelty, he is now a young man boiling with rage and hatred toward his brutal master, the infamous gunfighter Solomon Pinkney. When Pinkney sells Coal’s mother and young sister, Coal proves he’s learned a thing or two about fast-drawing a gun and pumps his master full of lead. With blood in his eyes, Coal aims to bring justice to his enslaved brothers and sisters—and he never misses. Soon, he earns a reputation as the fastest—and the most savage—gunslinger between Texas and Mexico. They call him the Black Devil.

Foreword by Eddie B. Allen, Jr., author of Low Road: The Life and Legacy of Donald Goines
