For the Party Set, immortality is measured in invitations.

They are the beautiful, wealthy, and endlessly envied social elite—the celebrities and tastemakers whose extravagant parties define every age. Between soirées, members of the Set retreat into cryogenic stasis, awakening from suspended animation only for the next dazzling event. While decades pass for the outside world, they experience centuries as little more than a succession of glittering nights. Yet during each cryosleep, the future advances without them, and the Set grows increasingly obsolete—glamorous relics of a vanished culture preserved by advanced life-extension technology.

Then the unthinkable happens: one member of the Set nearly kills another in a vicious attack. Forced to emerge from their insulated world of luxury and perpetual celebration, they must confront a society they barely comprehend—and discover the true price of eternal youth.

The Graveyard Heart by Hugo and Nebula Award-winning author Roger Zelazny is an elegant science fiction tragedy blending celebrity-culture critique, social commentary, psychological suspense, and forbidden romance. Through lyrical prose and incisive satire, Zelazny transforms cryopreservation into a poignant examination of class privilege, unrequited love, jealousy, obsession, alienation, isolation, cultural displacement, and lost time.

Perfect for fans of F. Scott Fitzgerald, Ray Bradbury, Ursula K. Le Guin, J. G. Ballard, Philip K. Dick, and James Tiptree Jr. (Alice Sheldon), as well as readers of science fiction of manners, literary dystopias, sociological sci-fi, melancholy futurism, speculative social drama, time-displacement romance, future-shock fiction, fish-out-of-time stories, classic space opera, and cerebral narratives featuring artificial immortality, cryonic suspension, hypersleep, biostasis, technological decadence, futuristic high society, far-future aristocracy, posthuman socialites, class conflict, and tragic love.
