A Place Both Wonderful and Strange - The Extraordinary Untold History of Twin Peaks

From its start, when studio executives drafted a plan to recoup costs after what they predicted would be the series'' inevitable failure, to the 1992 prequel movie that earned scathing reviews at Cannes, to its unexpected and acclaimed return some twenty-five years later, Twin Peaks garnered millions of devoted fans who refused to let it die. In A Place Both Wonderful and Strange , entertainment reporter Scott Meslow takes us behind the curtain of the series, and Lynch''s and Frost''s dedication to finishing what they had started with both the prequel film and Twin Peaks: The Return. The show raised as many questions as it answered and Meslow has conducted dozens of original and revelatory interviews that cast a whole new light on this extraordinary work. With David Lynch''s passing in 2025, there may never be another return to the mysterious and unforgettable town of Twin Peaks, but A Place Both Wonderful and Strange brings readers thrillingly back into that inimitable world.
