After killing her abusive husband, a woman is imprisoned on an asteroid six million miles from earth. A bleak, somber account from the end of the age, as told by suburban mother Jennifer Saunders, mother of 13 year old Danielle Saunders. Jennifer’s vision is a glimpse at the realities that flourish in the shadows, and the rise of the unspeakable behind the walls of cultured civility. 

Convicted of first degree murder, Jennifer becomes the first woman condemned to permanent  exile from the planet earth.With nothing but the stars to keep her company, Jennifer retreats into memories of the little girl she left behind, and the tragedy of her own childhood in a small town in eastern North Carolina. No longer able to cope with her isolation, she draws strength from her daughter’s bygone spirit, when she receives something previously forbidden from back home, something that plunges her into a deeper nightmare, filling her with a greater fear and pain than she has ever known. Jennifer’s story uncovers the mind of Eve passed down from the beginning of time, to the modern mother daughter dynamic at the end of the world, on the eve of eschatology.

The Graveyard of the Gods is born from Rod Serling's teleplay "The Lonely," about a convicted murderer imprisoned on an asteroid millions of miles from Earth. The author was haunted by the classic story as a child, eventually writing his own unpublished shortstory "Home is Where the Blue Star Rises," where the protagonist is a woman imprisoned among the stars. The author interprets Serling's brilliant narrative as an end of the world warning to humanity, concerning "the death of love east of Eden."
