Tie-in material can be a risky proposition: get it wrong, and it bears all the hallmarks of a shameless cash-in.<\/p>\n
David Lynch has always done things his own way though, and released in the build-up to the upcoming third season, The Secret History Of Twin Peaks<\/strong><\/em> (penned by Lynch\u2019s co-writer on the show, Mark Frost) is a refreshingly different entity altogether, serving as part history book, part novel and part Season 3 teaser.<\/p>\n Taking the form of a compilation of case notes, letters, newspaper extracts and other documents put together by an unknown resident of the town, we are taken through the evolution of the town of Twin Peaks, from its humble beginnings and first settlers to the mecca for cherry-pie-and-coffee enthusiasts and spooky shenanigans that it became.<\/p>\n While we don\u2019t want to delve too far into what it entails \u2013 Lynch and Frost would never forgive us \u2013 we can confirm that it\u2019s very, very good. Put together on high-quality paper and with utmost commitment paid to its viral tie-in feel, it\u2019s a true collector\u2019s item for fans of the show.<\/p>\n The more you read on, the better it gets. With the mention of a Milford here, a Packard there and then a Martell, there\u2019s plenty of back story and much more besides. Sometimes the danger of over-elaborating on things is that the show\u2019s central mystique gets hampered, but that is avoided here. We’d even go as far as to say that you could not be a fan of the show and get plenty of enjoyment out of it, although obviously familiarity is an asset.<\/p>\n We appreciate how vague this review is, but we honestly don\u2019t want to spoil the surprise. Read this while rewatching the first two seasons \u2013 just keep an eye out for the owls; they\u2019re not what they seem.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Here’s what we thought of Mark Frost’s The Secret History Of Twin Peaks<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":37,"featured_media":92774,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"quote","meta":{"MSN_Categories":"Uncategorized","MSN_Publish_Option":false,"MSN_Is_Local_News":false,"MSN_Is_AIAC_Included":"Empty","MSN_Location":"[]","MSN_Add_Feature_Img_On_Top_Of_Post":false,"MSN_Has_Custom_Author":false,"MSN_Custom_Author":"","MSN_Has_Custom_Canonical_Url":false,"MSN_Custom_Canonical_Url":""},"categories":[1624,8],"tags":[5483],"acf":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.scifinow.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/FU-Twin-Peaks-packshot.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.scifinow.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/92773"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.scifinow.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.scifinow.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.scifinow.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/37"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.scifinow.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=92773"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.scifinow.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/92773\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.scifinow.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/92774"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.scifinow.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=92773"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.scifinow.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=92773"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.scifinow.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=92773"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
