A free episode marking the holy week of Deep Christmas and the end of 2021. It's Mark Frost's the Secret History of Twin Peaks and the point where speculative prehistory melts into that TV show you like.    Apologies for the sound quality issues. Expect:  • Welsh Americans, petty poets and the tiny giants of Moundville • The hidden illuminati plot against Merriwether Lewis • The oratorical genius and historical tragedy of Hinmatóowyalahtq̓it • Liver-Eating Leo Johnson • Ben Horne vs BOB 

Here in The Bookhouse, we like to take long long looks at the Twin Peaks books. We're starting before the beginning: everything outside Mark Frost's The Secret History of Twin Peaks. Cosy up with the full episode over here. 

The town of Twin Peaks rests on a deeper landscape of red curtains, chevrons and an atmosphere of expectancy, desire and danger. What is the space that sits behind normal life, and once we're there, how do we leave?
