I'm rather fond of "dasn't" (altho I have heard it "daren't", as well). It may be a regionalism but Twain used it and a lot of people in a lot of regions read Twain and it maybe cudda spread a bit that way. It has a rather antique flavour to it but, when concocting a sentence that would benefit from a dose of antiquity, it isn't a bad choice.
