A fun little horror short, different to what I was expecting, I enjoyed it.
There's a mesmerizing, dream like quality to this. A slow realization dawns that, along with the protagonist, we're developing an affinity for something utterly repulsive and monstrous, fully aware of what it is even if we won't admit it to ourselves. And it feels so natural. Jones writes with such aplomb and ease, his words slide off the page right into your head silky smooth, no deciphering or interpretation needed."I leaned back from the bars, planed my arms out to the side like I was twelve
This is another of the tor.com free short story reads. This was actually recommended to me by Char, and I'm glad she did. I'm not going to tell you what the Night Cyclist is in this review, I'll let you discover it the same way I did, but the story was exciting and although I have accepted that my days on a bike are over, I enjoyed the new knowledge about competition biking this story provided.

I've had my eye on Stephen Graham Jones' work for a while and have read nothing but awesome things about his writing talent. Rave reviews for his latest short story/novelette, "The Night Cyclist," led me to make it my first jump into his work. It follows a restaurant cook and avid cyclist who bikes from work to home everyday, and the unexpected encounter he has one night on a dark stretch of road. As promised, the story is wonderfully well-written and detailed, especially when describing the joy...
A great little story. Went in with no idea and was pleasantly surprised.
Review coming!
horror with a chef, vampire and bicycles...what more could you ask for? lots of gory fun in a short story with unexpected emotion.
This reminds me of an episode of the twilight zone... fun...
A keen attention to detail carries this short through a lot of territory in a small space. You can tell right away that the author knows the subject matter in and out. I enjoyed the voice that carries the narrative. The real highlight here though is the dynamic between the protagonist and the night cyclist, their interactions taking on a significance for both their present and future selves.
a short read that I finished in bed, half asleep because I once I started, I had to see how it would end. review to come
