"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 the 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.
