Description

In Lynch's world the mundane and the fantastic collide, often with terrifying consequences. It's a place where the abnormal is normal, the respectable becomes sinister - where innocence is lost and redemption gained at a terrible price. From the deserts of a distant world to an ordinary backyard, at the breakneck speed of Lost Highway or the sedate determination of The Straight Story, readers will experience amateur sleuths, messiahs, giants, dwarves, chanteuses, psychopaths, damn fine cherry pie and straight black Joe. With free DVD.

Reviews

recommended for large film collections * U.S. Library Journal * not only a reference to Lynch's work but a recommended read after each film viewing... a new Lynch bible * www.horrornews.net *
