Burrowed Beacon: A Crisis of Alien Mind Control

In the illustrated Burrowed Beacon: A Crisis of Alien Mind Control , Quick Savant sets this Stephen King-inspired story In the decaying mining town of Cold Hollow, Maine. A mysterious radio signal pulses from an abandoned quarry, weaving vivid, shared dreams of a red-skied alien world into the minds of its residents. As these visions deepen, memories twist—events townsfolk swear happened never did. Paranoia festers, violence erupts, and the town teeters on collapse. Dr. Evelyn Marsh, a reclusive ex-NASA astronomer haunted by a failed Mars mission which lost the Rover, and Jasper “Jaz” Cole, a 16-year-old runaway with a knack for electronics, uncover the signal’s source: a buried spacecraft, centuries old, harboring a psychic parasite. This entity manipulates the town’s collective psyche to free itself, promising salvation but threatening to consume the world. Sheriff Amos Tate challenges Evelyn’s theories, while a cult-like faction worships the signal as divine. In a relentless race, Evelyn and Jaz confront betrayal, fractured realities, and their own pasts to sabotage the spacecraft. The quarry hosts a chilling climax. The alien goal and plan are simple: control planet Earth by controlling the human mind.
