Aliens: Harvard, 1650
Beneath the Yard
by Fiona T Lark

In 1650, Harvard College was a fragile experiment on the edge of the New England wilderness—its mission: to educate both English and Native youth in the ways of God. Its cornerstone was the Indian College, a building raised in hope and quickly forgotten, its bricks repurposed, its students erased from history.

But what if something else was buried there?

Told in the haunted voice of Martin Eliot, son of the missionary John Eliot, Aliens: Harvard is a confessional novel of faith, fear, and memory. When a strange relic is unearthed beneath the Indian College, Martin becomes its unwilling witness. Blue fire cracks the chapel windows, spirals burn into flesh and stone, and storms rattle the Yard as Harvard’s mission teeters between salvation and silence.

Guided by Waptan, a Native guardian whose song is older than scripture, Martin learns that some knowledge cannot be preached, only remembered—and that forgetting is as dangerous as the relic itself.

Decades later, when a new generation uncovers the hidden folio and the relic’s faint hum, Martin’s testimony endures: memory is the only wall against silence.

Blending historical fiction with gothic science fiction, Aliens: Harvard explores what lies beneath one of America’s oldest institutions and asks how far we will go to bury truths that threaten our foundations.

Haunting, atmospheric, and unforgettable, this short novel is a warning as much as a story: what is buried is never gone.
