Convicted of the serial killings and mutilations of a number of South Beach gay residents, Randall Snell — a former altar boy infamously dubbed the Killer Castrator by the television media — fatalistically awaits his end on death row.

When Snell’s overstarched attorney, Conrad Rangefork Thistle III, pontificates on CNN that his client has the right to choose by which method he’s put to death, eccentrically brilliant and perpetually unemployed documentary filmmaker Dov Montana sees an opportunity. He teams up with Lerz Feingold, programming director at pay-per-view reality TV outlet ’Tude Entertainment, and together they plan to bring reality TV to its logical apotheosis.

The equation seems simple enough: Conrad Rangefork Thistle III ostensibly believes the climate of debate that would ensue from a return to public executions will secure his client a stay of execution. Lerz Feingold, despite his tenuous relationship with Montana, sees an opportunity to catapult ’Tude Entertainment to the top of the ratings. But for Dov Montana, payoff lies not at the top but rather at the bottom, where he’s determined to expose the grazing herds of mediocrity that sit stuffed in front of their TV trays, infected by the insipid notion of reality TV and “news as entertainment.” The Nielsens, as he refers to them, are Montana’s target; the Killer Castrator, along with Conrad Rangefork Thistle III and Lerz Feingold, just means to an end.

About the author

Readers reviews:

Recently I googled my own name and came up with your site and my name used in one of your books. I hope all you bastards die from AIDS. Sincerly [sic] Randall Snell.

“In David Brensilver’s novel ExecTV, readers are given an in-your-face look at the dependency American’s have on both television and other human’s problems.” — Kmurphy, Goodreads

“A fascinating look at our obsession with fame, gore, violence and good old ‘reality,’ ExecTV is thought-provoking and entertaining.” — Melody Feldman, Goodreads

“With exaggerated reenactments, personal interviews, and a captivating finale, ExecTV is the ultimate reality TV program. Brensilver’s satire illustrates how ‘lensfaces’ and ‘audiopaths’ have distorted every form of media to dramatic dribble. His portrayal of humanity isn't pretty, but the inherent greed is real.” — KC, Goodreads

“The story is nothing short of amazing. Brensilver highlights the ugliest aspects of our society and the scary part is the accuracy. For anyone who is concerned with today’s problems, this is a must-read.” — Natascha, Goodreads
