Title: The Retrospective Title Record # 851258
Author: Ramsey Campbell
Date: 2002-02-00
Type: SHORTFICTION
Length: short story
Language: English
Note: First published online in The Spook, February 2002. [info from The Locus Index to Science Fiction: 2002] Campbell mentions that "My tale "The Retrospective" is in DARK TERRORS 6. Alas, the final phrase has been omitted. The complete version will be in TOLD BY THE DEAD" at https://knibbworld.com/campbell/news.html; comparing those books verifies that the last 3 words "brought the dark" were missing. There doesn't seem to be any mention on the news page about the original publication of this story even though several other stories and essays are mentioned as having been published in The Spook.
