BONANZAVILLE

Book excerpt: Abandoned as a child, young Frederick "Red" Bonaduce grows up to eke out a mere existence in a rural part of West Virginia. An offer to visit his estranged father could change his life forever. Unbeknownst to the world, Bonanzaville is a town in the Catskill Mountains that thrives on fear and carnage. Ben Cartwright rules over the town of Bonanzaville by emulating his favorite television shows. He wants to bring Red into the family business, but only if Red can prove his self worth. Television is woven into and throughout our lives today, but have you ever asked yourself, "How in the hell is that show still on?"
