Hello. We are Michelle Le Blanc and Colin Odell (aka Colin and Mitch) and we welcome you to our website. Here you will find shameless plugs for our tomes and for other books that we have contributed to. There are also reviews that have been published elsewhere over the past quarter of a century or more for you to peruse at your leisure.
Out on 25th November 2025 is :
In Lynch’s world the mundane and the fantastical collide, often with terrifying consequences. It is a place where the abnormal is normal, where the respectable becomes sinister, where innocence is lost and redemption gained at a terrible price. And there’s always music in the air. 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 and little people, chanteuses, psychopaths, cherry pie and damn fine coffee.
David Lynch is your guide to this other world… and this is your guide to David Lynch.
You can also get your copy of Fourth edition Studio Ghibli
We have other books for you to peruse…
