Fire Walk With Me

David Lynch expert Scott Ryan takes a deep dive into one of the filmmaker's most controversial works, Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me, relying largely on original interviews with cast and creative team members (including Laura Palmer herself, Sheryl Lee) that offer brand-new information and insights into the film.

"Scott Ryan's heartfelt interest and thoughtful curiosity have created a place where the story of these characters continues to live on and evolve as the decades go by." ?Sheryl Lee, actress

"Scott Ryan's writing and understanding of my music is unreal." ?Angelo Badalamenti, composer of the Fire Walk With Me score

In 1990, David Lynch was on top of the world. Wild at Heart won the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival and Twin Peaks was the hottest show on TV. In 1992, he released Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me. It sure is amazing how fast coffee can get cold. The film was not well received, to say the least, by critics or ticket buyers. It seemed like the verdict was in: Twin Peaks was dead and wrapped in plastic. Thirty years later, the film is thought by many to be Lynch's masterpiece.

The book features brand new interviews with editor Mary Sweeney, Gregg Fienberg, DP Ron Garcia, lead actress Sheryl Lee, and interview clips from Writer Bob Engels, lead actor Ray Wise, and other cast members, as well as Ryan's essays covering the different iterations of the script, Angelo Badalamenti's superb score, the fandom, and the lore of the The Missing Pieces. The book has a foreword by Entertainment Weekly's Twin Peak Podcast host Jeff Jensen (HBO's Watchmen).
