Shannon GaNun asked Blake Crouch:

How in the heck do you come up with the ideas for your books? In other words, how do you stay up on what's happening in the world to know enough to write a book?

Adelina Gădinceanu asked Blake Crouch:

Read “Pines” a while ago and I really enjoyed it! So captivating and creative! I have started writing several stories but I always struggle with the creation of and the development of the characters. Any advice? I feel like I am supposed to give as much details as I can of a character, especially the main one, at the beginning of the story, so as the reader gets an impression/ concrete idea of how she/he is.

Sammy
Sammy asked Blake Crouch:

I loved Dark Matter! I always love seeing people's take on alternate universes, as it helps me develop my own theories. How do you select the names of your characters?

Lisa Funderburg
Lisa Funderburg asked Blake Crouch:

Question about Dark Matter. How do we know we are following the original Jason the entire time?
