I have read a collection of short stories called A Bit of Singing and Dancing which is excellent but not horror in the slightest.

Cool. A good read is a good read.

This is a pictorial history of motorcycles - and the riders - who created the cafe racer craze. The author looks at the BSA Gold Star, the Triumph/Norton hybrid and others and recalls the leather-jacketed "rockers" who indulged in burn-ups on Britain's roads, and gained nationwide notoriety through their seafront battles with the archrivals, the "Mods". He explains the origins of the movement, profiles its machinery and its personalities, and describes the equipment, livery and lifestyle of the cafe racer cult. A nostalgic gallery of contemporary photographs recreates a vivid portrait of the period.

Also got Rockers

Johnny Stuart's Rockers! celebrates the biker style with panache and wit, showing how a love affair between bikes and speed became the original touchstones of a youth cult which continues to fascinate and endure,with its myths, magic and melancholy. In essence, and although they did not know it, Rockers - with their raw edginess, studied cool and search for excitement, sex and violence - were icons. Rockers! achieves that rare marriage of immediacy and knowledge, through research and first-hand experience.

Just finished Michael J. Fox: Lucky Man. Excellent stuff. Back to the Future, Huey Lewis and the News, '80s pop culture and Family Ties. There's nothing there to dislike. I loved it.
