What is the title of Jennifer Lynch’s 1990 Twin Peaks tie-in novel?

Jennifer Lynch’s 1990 Twin Peaks tie-in novel is titled The Secret Diary of Laura Palmer. Written as Laura’s private diary, the book expands on the character’s thoughts and experiences before the events revealed in the television series.

The novel was published during the original show’s first period of popularity and was marketed as an in-universe document. Its diary format gives readers access to Laura’s perspective while adding background to her relationships, fears, sexuality, and encounters with the supernatural figure BOB.

Jennifer Lynch, daughter of David Lynch, wrote the book rather than adapting a television script into conventional prose. It is distinct from The Secret History of Twin Peaks, a 2016 novel by Mark Frost, and Twin Peaks: The Final Dossier, Frost’s 2017 follow-up.
