Great bike reference in Gothic Literature...

[Kalidurga]

Is the rest of the story as entertaining?

That one paragraph is the only bit that has anything to do with bicycling. The story is actually a somewhat weird tale of a female vampire. I love Gothic short stories, but I can't say this one was one of my favorites. I've never read anything else by Angela Carter, though, so I don't know if this piece is indicative of her usual work.

Hey! Stop being such a diminutive-for-Richard-head!!!

I wanna hear you say that five times fast when you're peeved
