The Worst Fog of the Year

Ramsey Campbell

First published August 1990
Type Short Fiction
Length Short Story

"I thought it was lost until I came across my first draft in a notebook and decided to bring it up to publishable standard-my biggest gap yet between first draft and rewrite." "The story was finally published in the British Fantasy Society's Dark Horizons, but with a different final line, evidently from that first draft. Campbell has substituted the revised ending as presented here." [quotes from Campbell and Karl Edward Wagner taken from the story's intro in The Year's Best Horror Stories: XIX]
