Almost 36 years since the show premiered & there's still so much to discover about Twin Peaks, as proven by @scottmeslow.bsky.social's new book A PLACE BOTH WONDERFUL AND STRANGE from @runningpressbooks.bsky.social. Check out my awesome, extensive interview w/Meslow here: comicon.com/2026/03/09/t...
Thanks Jenn!
Hi Niklas! Send me a DM and we’ll figure something out.
Never a bad time!
One more for Twin Peaks Day: An exclusive excerpt of A Place Both Wonderful and Strange at @vulture.com, from the chapter on everything that went wrong (and right!) with Season 2 after Laura Palmer’s killer was revealed:
A little present from me on this momentous Twin Peaks Day — my essay on what Twin Peaks really means (to me):
10.
True to its name, @scottmeslow.bsky.social's book delivers the goods. By splitting the difference between oral history, critical analysis, and literature review, he has constructed an authoritative companion for hardcore and casual fans alike.
I finished @scottmeslow.bsky.social’s new book A PLACE BOTH WONDERFUL AND STRANGE: THE EXTRAORDINARY UNTOLD HISTORY OF TWIN PEAKS, which just came out this week. Good stuff. Lots of new behind-the-scenes tidbits throughout (including what was planned for ABC season 3)…. (1/2) #TwinPeaks
A Goodreads reviewer says, "Mark Turetsky’s narration is perfectly eerie and grounded, like if Agent Cooper and an NPR host had a love child raised in the Black Lodge," which is frankly one of my favorite things I've ever heard about my work.
My audio edition of @scottmeslow.bsky.social's book A Place Both Wonderful and Strange: The Extraordinary Untold History of Twin Peaks came out yesterday.
A special trip inside the recording booth with @markturetsky.com, the brilliant audiobook narrator of A Place Both Wonderful and Strange: The Extraordinary History of Twin Peaks:
All you Peakie fans: May I remind you that today is a perfect day to give yourselves a present. 👇☕️📕🥧

finally read @scottmeslow.bsky.social’s A PLACE BOTH WONDERFUL AND STRANGE and my guy really did the thing. Scott brings balance to a production history that’s become almost mythic, where the secret isn’t any kind of auteurism but a rare openness to possibility, making magic from the mundane
Had a blast talking all things Twin Peaks with the great Ariel LeBeau at GQ:
According to the new #TwinPeaks book, “A Place Both Wonderful and Strange” by @scottmeslow.bsky.social, this is what Duwayne Dunham tried when editing Part 18.
I think he was wanting to stretch the Audrey story into the finale.
Definitely for the best it was changed but fascinating nonetheless.
Hell yeah

Read by the great @markturetsky.com!
Hey Peakies, OG and new, if you’re looking for the whole story… look no further. #scottmeslowbksy.social
“Scott Meslow’s history of Twin Peaks and all its offshoots is less an analysis of its meaning than a book about the industry mechanisms that shaped and threatened it, and the people who brought it back to life again and again.”
Dust off that #TwinPeaks bookshelf.
Just finished re-reading this extraordinary book by @scottmeslow.bsky.social
With a foreword by @harleypeyton.bsky.social, it tells the BTS journey of all three seasons and #FireWalkWithMe.
As a hardcore / old school fan, even I gasped a handful of times.
