Beware, He Could Be Anywhere

William S. Grant

Believe it or not, there’s something truly terrifying about evil that wears an ordinary face.

In Remember, Remember, Mike Walker is not introduced to us as a monster. He isn’t a career criminal or an escaped killer. He’s a man with an average life, a fading birthmark, and a deep well of resentment. That’s what makes him dangerous. That’s what makes him real.

For four years, Mike’s bitterness festers. After being left by his wife Anna, who deceives and abandons him without warning, he spirals. Alcohol. Drugs. Violence. Rage. His world narrows to one thing: the need to hurt back. And when he sees Deanne Wallace, mistaken for the woman who destroyed him, his fractured reality turns deadly.

The horror begins not with a scream but with a bark. Smarts, Deanne’s beloved dog, rushes ahead into the woods on Guy Fawkes Night. Deanne follows, unaware that someone is already watching her. There, at that moment, the familiar woods become a trap. The celebration, with its bright fireworks and happy crowds, becomes a cruel backdrop to a crime soaked in darkness.

Mike has been waiting for this moment and has launched a vicious, calculated, and methodical attack when she discovers Deanne in the woods. Grant doesn’t pull punches. Instead, he makes you see the stark, disturbing reality of what one person can do when they are overcome by delusion. With his rage taking over his senses, he leaves only scars, horror, and Deanne left to die in the woods.

And yet, this isn’t the end of the story. It’s the beginning.

Because Mike leaves her for dead, but Deanne doesn’t die.

This is what elevates Remember, Remember above typical thrillers. The suspense isn’t just about catching the villain. It’s about watching a woman crawl back from the edge of death with one goal—reclaim her power and confront the shadow that nearly destroyed her.

Mike Walker disappears back into the streets. He drinks. He laughs. He believes justice will never find him. And in many ways, it doesn’t. Not in the way the law would define. But Deanne is not done.

She remembers. Every moment. Every word. And when the hunter becomes hunted, everything will change, in a way we could not anticipate.

William S. Grant carefully dissects the mind of both predator and prey. He doesn’t just show us horror. He shows us transformation. While Mike becomes a ghost of hatred, Deanne becomes steel and will do anything to reclaim her life.

As readers, we are reminded that monsters don’t wear masks. They walk past us. They smile. They shake hands.

So beware. Such monsters could be anywhere. And we have to remain cautious.
