It always amazes me when someone in a car pulls up behind me on my bike and seems to be unable to pass one cyclist on a clear road.

If you like Uncle Silas, there are a few collections of short stories by LeFanu:

• Best Ghost Stories of J.S. Lefanu


• Green Tea and Other Ghost Stories

From Amazon

I'd reccomend the former since it contains Carmilla, one of the finest Vampire stories out there.
