From Dark Horse:
A surveyor examining a site for a new reservoir arrives at the bottom of a desolate valley in rural Massachusetts, a place even the inhabitants of witch-haunted Arkham speak of with fear. The “strange days” of the past in that area are best left alone and forgotten. Surrounded by tangled and overgrown flora, a five-acre desolate void covered in a fine gray ash sits where a farm once stood. No wind, no life, nothing remains as the visiting surveyor discovers the story of what happened in 1882 from an aged survivor: Out of a blue sky, something, a visitor, fell. As scientists gather to analyze the site where this “meteorite” landed, they find an object unlike any known element of the spectrum, which disappears in the lab. The mystery slowly becomes a horror for those who reside near this forsaken farm. The plants, animals, and even the people are twisted by the cosmic light and its unnatural blight that should have stayed hidden and buried.
