Diana Radu asked Blake Crouch:

Hello from Romania! I really really loved Dark Matter, it was one of those books that blew my mind and couldn't stop recommending it to others (who loved it too ;) ). Also enjoyed Recursion, Wayward Pines, Summer Frost and Draculas. I'm curious which authors inspired you when you were young?

Blake Crouch Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, Pat Conroy, Thomas Harris, L'engle, Clarke, Bradbury...

I read dark matter last year and I absolutely loved it! Every time I read a book with an intricate plot i always find myself wondering if the author planned it out roughly from the beginning or if they just kind of winged it and went where the story took them. So I'm curious, did you know how the story would end when you started writing the book?
