The Secret History Repeats Itself: Mark Frost Revives Out-Of-Print Twin Peaks Lore

Missed your chance to snag the original edition of Mark Frost’s bestselling The Secret History of Twin Peaks and don’t want to pay $50+ on eBay? Good news: ten years after its release, Mark Frost convinced Flatiron to reprint this long out-of-print deep dive into the town and its people. The reprint appears identical to the exquisite original, and you can now pick it up for about $35 at Barnes & Noble, Amazon, or, better yet, check your local bookstore. And for maximum atmosphere, here’s an unofficial playlist to go with TSHOTP.

The Twin Peaks co-creator has a new book out as well, The Yankee Sphinx: An FDR Novel, released May 5, 2026. Like TSHOTP, it’s an intricate puzzle box of real-world history with Frost’s signature blend of archival secrets, ancestral trauma, and underlying occult symbolism.

In 1934, Hassett is working as a journalist when he gets a call from an old friend who now works at the White House. He arrives expecting to catch up on old times but is instead brought right into the Oval Office to meet with Franklin D. Roosevelt. FDR needs help on his speeches; Will takes the job on the spot. For the next twelve years, Will is at FDR’s side through the worst of the Depression, three reelection campaigns, and World War II.

The Yankee Sphinx: An FDR Novel is available at Barnes & Noble, Amazon, but if you can, please support your local bookstore.
