Will Kirby is floundering. Day in, day out, the poor slob trudges through the rain-drenched city with his mind drifting off to the adventurous fantasies by which he'd like to rewrite his life. Nothing ever seems to change, until he meets Martine. Will's encounter with the sexy French librarian sets free the he-man adventurer chained in his soul, blurring the lines between reality and his fantasy world, Oblivia. It's a rough journey, one that will take him ever deeper into a world of she-bitch monsters, old school tough guys, buxom nymphos, and apocalyptic mayhem. As Will nears the point of no return, he'll have to decide if the rewards of living an all but fictional existence are worth annihilating both his sanity, and the very world he shares with his loving wife and daughter. At turns sexist and sensitive, comic and circumspect, Escape from Oblivia is the story of one man's descent into the mind-erasing abyss of a midlife crisis gone primal.

Reminiscent of B-movie posters, a 3D rendering of an enormous four-armed gorilla who mangles and rapes the women on Oblivia can be seen chasing a young, chiseled, macho man and a beautiful, blonde buxom babe on the cover. Diving into the realms of absurdist fiction, the cover design leaps off the edge of reality into the all-out fictional world of Will's unruly imagination.
