For fans and newcomers alike, the book is a binge-worthy treat that is as entertaining, glamorous, and irresistible as Mrs. Maisel herself.

Explore the real science behind the Cartoon Network phenomenon Rick and Morty--one of television's most irreverent, whip-smart, and darkly hilarious shows--and discover how close we are to Rick's many experiments becoming a reality.

Adult Swim's Rick and Morty is one of the smartest (and most insane) shows on television. Genius alcoholic Rick Sanchez and his hapless grandson Morty have explored everything from particle physics to human augmentation and much more in their intergalactic adventures through the multiverse. With biting humor and plenty of nihilism, Rick and Morty employs cutting-edge scientific theories in every episode. But, outside of Rick's garage laboratory, what are these theories truly about and what can they teach us about ourselves?

Blending biology, chemistry, and physics basics with accessible--and witty--prose, The Science of Rick and Morty equips you with the scientific foundation to thoroughly understand Rick's experiments from the show, such as how we can use dark matter and energy, just what is intelligence hacking, and whether or not you can really control a cockroach's nervous system with your tongue. Perfect for longtime and new fans of the show, this is the ultimate segue into discovering more about our complicated and fascinating universe.

For most of us, fond memories of the Christmas season are inseparable from TV's holiday presentations.

Audacious. Cryptic. Vexing. These are a few words that describe David Lynch and Mark Frost's Twin Peaks: The Return, the third chapter in the Twin Peaks cycle (following the original series, Twin Peaks, and the feature film, Fire Walk With Me). Operating by its own rules, The Return subverted conventional narrative, rejected the lure of nostalgia, and defied the boundaries of its medium. It was a masterpiece, but an elusive one.

In Ominous Whoosh: A Wandering Mind Returns to Twin Peaks John Thorne dives deep into The Return, closely examining each episode and offering in-depth theories about the show's most perplexing riddles: Who is telling the story we see? What is Laura Palmer's new role in the Twin Peaks universe? How do Audrey and Diane fit into this complex new tale? Drawing on a study of David Lynch's past work and Lynch's observations about Hindu theology, Thorne offers compelling answers to these and other questions.

Aspiring to persuade, certain to provoke, Ominous Whoosh resonates with insight and imagination.

John Thorne has been the definitive voice on Twin Peaks for over two decades, and now he brings his signature insight and thoughtfulness to David Lynch's masterwork, Twin Peaks: The Return, shedding light on its darkest corners and diving into its many mysteries. This book will deepen every Twin Peaks fan's understanding. If I'm ever lost in those dark woods, I want John Thorne to come looking for me. - Jeff Lemire, creator of Sweet Tooth

In the popular fanzine Wrapped in Plastic, John Thorne and Craig Miller explored every possible aspect and angle of the original Twin Peaks. In his latest book, John Thorne returns to Twin Peaks, exploring the 18-part continuation of the series. Undoubtedly, Thorne is one of the most prominent and convincing Twin Peaks scholars out there, and his new book is full of insight and valuable analyses, applying Hindu theology, a strong understanding of film history, and an unmatched knowledge of David Lynch and the Twin Peaks universe. This is, arguably, the best companion to Twin Peaks that you will ever read. - Andreas Halskov, author of TV Peaks: Twin Peaks and Modern Television Drama (2015) and Beyond Television: TV Production in the Multiplatform Era (2021)

John Thorne, the greatest of Twin Peaks detectives, has produced the ultimate investigation into pop culture's most daunting and alluring mystery. His interpretive readings illuminate and entertain with their ideas and inventiveness, but even better, his theorizing, suffused with respect for the material and others who are passionate about it, teaches us the art of intelligent, gracious fandom. - Jeff Jensen, writer, HBO's Watchmen and Better Angels: A Kate Warne Adventure
