Diane, a small town is not unlike a river – lots of hidden currents and eddies, each holding its own secrets. My guess is that I haven’t even broken the surface yet…. Oh, one other thing, Diane, never drink coffee that has been anywhere near a fish….

The long sold-out audio tie-in originally released on a double-sided cassette when Twin Peaks was going into its second season late 1990, has been rereleased by Simon & Schuster today as an audiobook. The 45-minute recording, which earned Kyle MacLachlan a Grammy nomination for best spoken-word performance, includes several familiar messages to Diane as heard in the original series mixed with dozens of monologues specifically written for this release by Mark Frost’s brother, Scott Frost.

The rerelease was initially described as a special edition CD, but —without any fanfare— it’s out today as a digital download instead.

It’s available through Audible which means you can get this audiobook (plus, for instance, the 9.5-hour audio version of The Secret History of Twin Peaks) for $0.00 as part of a free 30-day Audible trial.

Best deal: Listen for free with a 30-day trial to Scribd, which also offers David Lynch narrating Room to Dream, Mark Frost’s The Secret History of Twin Peaks and The Final Dossier.

You can also purchase on Amazon, iTunes or Downpour ($3.99).

Unavailable in any other format – the original blockbuster audio tie-in to the television phenomenon Twin Peaks.

Re-experience the mystery of Twin Peaks. The Cooper Tapes. The private world of Special Agent Dale Cooper, previously reserved for one woman… Diane, including notes and stories never revealed on television. From the man in the black suit, Twin Peaks in his own words.

    Hey

    Amazon version states 45 min whereas Downpour – 75
    Any ideas?

    • Avatar photo Pieter says:

      It is 45 minutes.

    • BOB says:

      Okay, more than three years later I see this comment. The answer: Downpour says Runtime: 0.75. So…three quarters. 75% of one hour is 45 minutes. They’re not wrong, but a bit weird.

  2. Bob says:

    Got it (and The Secret History) for free using a trial, thanks for the tip!
    If I burn the audiobook to cd using Nero via AudibleManager will it have the “This is Audible” intro on it?
