Pete Lavoie wakes from a nightmare that feels too sharp to be imagined-cold woods, a blinding light, voices calling his name. But Millinocket has always been a quiet town, and Pete has always been the kind of man who forgets his dreams by morning. Until the silence around him starts to feel wrong. Until a decades-old news report mentions his name. Until a photograph from 1974 shows a version of him he doesn't remember being.
Drawn back into a past he can't recall, Pete begins to uncover a trail of fractured memories, altered records, and people who look at him like he shouldn't exist. The deeper he digs, the clearer one truth becomes: something happened in those woods, something the town never stopped whispering about-and something that never stopped watching him. NOT HIM is a tense, atmospheric descent into identity, fear, and the shadows that cling to forgotten places.
A story where the past isn't just remembered. it returns.
