Essentially a mix of the UFO/UAP aspect of Twin Peaks and the gothic part of True Detective. I’ve already read the books by Mark Frost. Also D.W.Pasulka’s American Cosmic and Encounters. Both fiction and non-fiction recs welcomed.

Downloaded a book in .zip format—the only format it is available in. Inside the zip file there are individual pages of the book in .txt format.
