Mark Frost novels

Post by snikgrif »

Has anyone read any of Mark Frosts novels, like 'The List of Seven' and 'The Six Messiahs'. I was wondering if they are worth a read?

I read The List of 7, which was a highly enjoyable read. It has some TP-esqe quirkiness, humor and horro, but is particularly fun if you like the original Sherlock Holmes novels.

Thanks, I might give the 'The List of 7' a go I think.

Sorry, I know this is an old thread but I had to comment. I love 'The list of seven'. It was a great read and really gave me more respect for Frost. People always mention Lynch in relation to Twin Peaks, but as we all know, Frost had just as much to do with it. Any fan of TP should at least give TLO7 a look.
The following statement is true. The preceeding statement was false.

The List of Seven is loaded with Twin Peaks references. We've got the red curtains and herringbone floors of the Black Lodge, the Dweller on the Threshold, Madame Blavatsky and more. There was talk of this being made into a film years ago. A pity nothing's come of it: it'd be a lot of fun!

I liked The List of Seven; it's a rather fun Holmesian adventure-- Holmesian, because it is not Sherlock Holmes, but a character that is depicted as the inspiration for Watson's Holmes character.
The Six Messiahs was not quite as good as the first book; the first part (roughly) is good and intriguing; the ending is disappointing.
