The Secret History of Twin Peaks

Product Information

According to The Secret Diary of Laura Palmer, the Log Lady's husband died by having fallen face-first into hot coals and burning to death. The Secret History of Twin Peaks states that Sam Lanterman fell into a burning ravine during a fire. Indeed, early into The Secret History, we can see in a photograph, the bound hardcover of which we are reading an annotated version, has nearly the same cover and spine as what we hold, but not quite. In life you have to learn to live with paradoxes, and sometimes what we think we know isn’t what actually happened. Sometimes what we think really happened isn’t something that we actually know. And sometimes things will be revealed further down the line that will help clarify all those things.” With all the hazy uncertainty, what exactly does this story concretely reveal about the mythology of Twin Peaks? Apart from the ring, one of the most intriguing revelations is that the first white men to discover Owl Cave — the very, very interestingly named Denver Bob and Wayne Chance (“one chants”?) — vanished without a trace not long after. Vanishing in the woods is, apparently, a common leisure activity in Twin Peaks. The series explained that Margaret the Log Lady had been abducted by the forces of Glastonbury Grove as a young girl, resulting in her mysterious tattoo. The book further reveals that both Douglas Milford and Carl Rodd experienced similar disappearances when they were children, events which marked them deeply. This contextualizes Carl’s comment in Fire Walk With Me, when he ominously mutters “I’ve already gone places.” (Carl was abducted while on a class trip with Margaret, along with a third character not previously introduced).

Interesting that Jacoby brings up the color purple again, and I can only wonder if this is connected in any way to the Purple Room in The Return. In the Access Guide, the football team photo seems to show enough players for a regular eleven-player team. But in the Secret History, the plaque and description shows a seven-player squad.There are six novels based on Twin Peaks which have been released in book and/or audio book format and are written by authors involved with the series. These books are intended to be canon to the franchise and expand upon the storylines portrayed in the series and film; they do contain some continuity errors and contradictions, however - some of which may be intentional. Of course, this could be bullshit and the new season might take place on Mars. We’ll have to wait and see.

Speaking of Deer Meadow, I’d like to officially clarify that I have no clue where the hell it is. In the pilot episode, Cooper says Teresa Banks was murdered in a town in the southwest corner of the state. In Fire Walk With Me, Deer Meadow is suggested to be in Oregon, since Cole, Desmond, and Stanley all meet in Portland (though it’s just as possible they drive up into Washington, since I’m pretty sure Teresa’s floating body crossed the state line). But in the book, Deer Meadow is in a county neighboring Twin Peaks, with Carl Rodd’s trailer park not far from his hometown.But Jacoby’s write-up on Nadine also foreshadows to another scene in The Return. The last time we see Jacoby and Nadine, he visits her shop Run Silent, Run Drapes and they share a moment in which they clearly have a connection. The audiobook edition features voices actors from the TV show reprising their or other roles as well as actors original to the franchise. No official credits of who plays what parts is known to be released. The following list includes all the actors and some of the audio characters portrayed:

When Mark Frost’s Secret History of Twin Peaks was released almost exactly 2 years ago, I hoped it would bridge a gap between the epic finale of Season 2 of Twin Peaks and the new season that would be airing on Showtime. Jacoby has moved to Hawaii on March 19 but wrote a report on Ben's Civil War on March 22 at Calhoun Memorial Hospital.religious, spiritual, scientific, ghostly, inspirational, angelic and demonic. From the burning bush to Fatima and Lourdes, to ‘vampires’ and sky people, monsters and abductions in the night and Roswell and Homestead and all those strange lights and crafts seen for millennia by so many of us in so many skies, I believe all these phenomena that our puffed-up egos and busy ant minds persist in trying to label, categorize, penetrate and comprehend, all spring this same uncanny source. This is the mother of all ‘others’, and were we ever able to set our eyes on its ultimate nature we would find it as foreign, incomprehensible and indifferent to us as ours would be to bacterial microbes swimming in a drop of water.” It is the lo-fi and seemingly low effort visual representation that eases the reader into memories of cheap salacious UFO tell-all and junior high classroom printouts, and that gives The Secret History its adrenaline. The Secret History does not trade on truth as much as excitement at the possibility of truth. This might indicate that the Archivist worked on earlier sections after writing this last entry. To support it, on her last entry, TP mentions " the other data" that she did not yet see. The preface of Jacoby's book: Red removes the name of those giving a favorable review of the book and half of Jacoby's picture. Blue removes the other half of Jacoby's picture. The report of Kenneth Arnold's UFO sighting places the event on June 25, while the previous news article states that it happened the previous day, June 24.

The owls may indeed not be what they seem but still serve an imperative function: They remind us to look into the darkness.” Our FBI analyst, guiding us through The Secret History and then further commenting in The Final Dossier, seems very strongly to like Dr Jacoby – a man often reviled and who is disbarred from medical practice – over the generally loved and admired Special Agent Dale Cooper, because she sees one as a kind of retiree wizard and the other as a fundamentally sexist control freak with delusions of boyhood.

Fire Walk With Me opens with blue, as it brings us through the snow on a tv screen to the world of Twin Peaks.
