On: Unusual murder weapons in crime fiction

[cobbzilla]

After much searching, I found it— the story is “Bargain” by A. B. Guthrie. Originally published in 1952 as “Bargain at Moon Dance”.

I found this reprint of the original: https://classic.esquire.com/article/1952/10/1/bargain-at-moo...

Still a creepy story after all these years.
