Publisher Description
From the co-creator of the landmark series Twin Peaks, the story millions of fans have been waiting to get their hands on for more than 25 long years.
The Secret History of Twin Peaks by Mark Frost enlarges the world of the original series, placing the unexplained phenomena that unfolded there into a vastly layered, wide-ranging history, beginning with the journals of Lewis and Clark and ending with the shocking events that closed the finale. The perfect way to get in the mood for the Showtime series, Twin Peaks: The Return.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Devotees of the cult TV series Twin Peaks, due for a revival in 2017 on Showtime, will welcome this inventive jigsaw puzzle of a book from one of the show's creators. The tantalizing revelations concern events preceding the prequel movie, Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me, and those following the show's last episode. Frost's impressive effort demands close attention. He provides information in the form of a 2016 FBI case file, classified "three levels above top secret," assigned to an unnamed agent after a dossier was recovered from a "crime scene that is still under active investigation." The file consists of an eclectic collection of documents, including facsimiles of purported excerpts from the writings of explorers Lewis and Clark, a newspaper account of an unusual 1927 camping trip, and censored government materials pertaining to UFOs. These documents may be related to special agent Dale Cooper's legendary inquiry into the murder of 18-year-old Laura Palmer. This cryptic volume captures the show's trademark quirky noir flavor as it raises new questions that Twin Peaks fans are sure to feast on.
Customer Reviews
Long Bridge to Almost Nowhere
I LOVE the Twin Peaks series and have been anxiously awaiting its return. I found this book and thought it was going to help bridge the gap in time that has taken place since the series end. While it did not bridge the gap, it did provide some insight as to what happened to some of the residents of Twin Peaks since we last saw them. There is also extensive back story which can be a bit boring at times, but does shed light on the motives of the town residents. If you are a big fan, you will enjoy it. Just don't expect a big payoff.
Absolutely amazing book
Yes, I do recommend this book to everyone that followed original TV series " Twin Peaks". This is a great book, also available on audio CD :)
Better Than a Cup of Coffee
A must-read for any and every true Twin Peaks fan! The insight into what we originally perceived to be a minor character leads us ultimately to great revelation about the characters of the genre-busting series as well as a breathtaking plunge into the new Showtime season. It is not a typical novel read, but it is enjoyable and well written. I, for one, would gladly read more from Frost in this world of Twin Peaks.
