Bargains That Dont Mend: An Anthology

Bargains That Don’t Mend is a genre-bending anthology where deals are struck, broken, and twisted beyond repair. Woven through its pages are uneasy bargains, ominous prophecies, and moral choices that refuse to stay simple—each story daring the reader to ask what they would sacrifice, and why. Blending Fantasy, Horror, and Science Fiction, the collection takes sharp, surreal turns inspired by the dreamlike unease of David Lynch, the dark sensuality of Anne Rice, and the sly, irreverent wit of Terry Pratchett. Expect the unsettling, the thoughtful, and the unexpectedly funny—yes, including the lingering question of why a talking bear seems so determined to sass you. From haunting to absurd, profound to quietly disturbing, these stories challenge your sense of right and wrong while pulling you into worlds where nothing comes without a cost. Bargains That Don’t Mend comes from the imaginative mind of W.J. Rabideau—and once you enter, the deal is already made.
