The Invention of Mother ~ a story cycle or sequence ~ (some assembly may be required, batteries not included)

Within this book dwell mysteries deep and dark, syntactic secrets, beautiful otherness, rhyme and unreason, all springing from the singular town of TWIN PEAKS.How does one get to Twin Peaks? Is it in the heart, or in the mind? Does the Log Lady know more than she's letting on? Is Cooper still the man he always was? What are we really to take from the tragic end of Waldo? Who is Diane? Who was Agent Jeffries? And what did Harold Smith's suicide note really mean? Answers to these questions and more will you find within these pages.This is a book for Twin Peakers, backwards-speakers, loggers, Black Lodgers, Special Agents, one-armed show salesmen, fans, fanatics and everyone in between...For nearly a decade Benjamin Louche, host of London's infamous Double R Club, has been penning strange 'Peaksian' poems, prose and the like, much of which has been performed in front of original Twin Peaks cast members at the annual Twin Peaks UK Festival.

Something immense and unspeakable has happened, leaving a boy and girl wandering, lost and alone, across a yawing dusty plain. Alone that is until they happen across The Menagerie, a company of travelling circus-folk... and their birds. But The Menagerie are not quite what they appear and hold many secrets, secrets that threaten to throw the boy and girl's futures into terrible shadow. Ever wanted to run away with the circus? Read The Menagerie and think again. With 17 beautiful and haunting illustrations by Jon Attfield
