Deadly Bargain: A Colors in Darkness Anthology

by Mya Lairis, Kenya Moss-Dyme, Dahlia DeWinters

Some deals should never be struck and some dealers should never be trusted. When faced with your heart’s desire, will you ignore that tingle in your spine or the hair rising on the backs of your arms? The offer- It’s too good to be true and you can feel it. The dealer smiles with a devilish gleam in his eyes. Holding out his tantalizing wares, his eagerness adds weight to the very air around you. It’s not a lot of money at all, sometimes it’s even free, he says and yet you know that this is the costliest item you will ever own.

Inside these pages you will find thirteen tales of horror, of deals that should never have been made and the horrible costs of those deadly bargains!

Deadly Bargain was a good, solid weekend read with a variety of stories. The stories all feature the same dubious salesman, and the purchases/deals that the buyer makes. It covers a range of themes from shrunken heads, cursed jewelry, evil dolls, evil cars, and a wide variety of characters. The goal of Colors in Darkness is to present diversity in horror and it doesn't disappoint. The characters were fresh, vibrant, and varied. My personal favorite stories (thought there weren't any duds) Tsantsa/Judith Baron, Cherry Condition/Dahlia DeWinters, A Good Deal/Karen Thrower, and BFF's/Kenya Moss Dyme.

Fine Group of Fantastic Stories

The stories had a unifying theme of be careful what you wish for, but each was unique and imaginative. Awesome job by all.

I am an ultimate horror fan. Horror books, movies, or anything! This book was everything I could ever dream of. The stuff that gives you nightmares. It was the BEST! This has been my favorite book of the year so far and I am on book 20! Each story in the anthology was amazing and well-written in its own right. I blazed through this book and can't wait to get my hands on it's predecessor.

Reading this book brought back the nostalgic feeling of watching an episode of "Are You Afraid of the Dark". I am anticipating next year's offering with abated breath!

I recommend this book to fans of "Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark"! It will deliver everything you want in a scary story and more!
