The Oblivion Society, a gold medalist of the Independent Publisher Book Award, is a post-apocalypse horror-comedy by Marcus Alexander Hart.
It follows the adventures of Vivian Oblivion and her friends as they search for a safe haven after an accidental nuclear war.
Plot summary
Vivian Gray is stuck in a dead-end job with a horrible boss in a town full of aging seniors in Florida. She supports her unemployed brother, Bobby and his geek friend Erik in a small apartment in town.
Just when it seems that she has a shot to get out of town, and start a career in modeling, the end of the world happens. Vivian and a rag-tag band of survivors must survive attacks from mutant creatures to make it to a distant sanctuary, that may or may not exist.
Main characters
Vivian Gray: Stuck in a mind-numbing job, but gifted with a high IQ and a sharp sense of reason.
Bobby Gray: Vivian's twin brother. As an unemployed web programmer, Bobby has been freeloading at his sister's place.
Erik Sievert: A consummate retro-geek, he shuns all pop culture that has transpired since the end of the 1980s. He works as a clerk at a dusty old collectables shop.
Sherri Becquerel: Rarely seen without a malt liquor in one hand and a cigarette in the other. Anti-establishment and belligerently individualistic, she is difficult to get along with.
