"""This interdisciplinary book on David Lynch is as innovative and intrepid as its subject. Exploring Lynch's use of music, physiognomy, hauntology, set design, visual effects, social media and the femme fatale, the authors reposition the director as a network of intertextual links that constantly morphs and remediates itself. This is an important transmedial intervention into media studies"" -Holly Rogers, Goldsmiths, University of London"
