I did ask my readers to have a little bit of suspension of disbelief, because we have these crazy premises, crazy things going on.
"There's a fine line with suspension of disbelief, and this story does have some philosophical metaphoric things to it. How do you figure out how far to go, where to stop? I tried to replicate that."Īs you are building this world post-apocalyptic world, how do you figure out the boundaries? You can make up anything. The whole intrigue and mystery of that show. And then I happened to be watching the TV show Lost when I wrote The Maze Runner, and its influence is pretty is obvious. It was the first time that I had to read a book for school that was dark, that wasn’t written in the 1700s or 1800s. "But Lord of the Flies is probably the most obvious influence. Ever since then mazes have fascinated me, and scared me a little bit." The movie ends with a really sweet scene where he’s chasing his son with an axe through this huge garden hedge maze, and it’s snowing and creepy, and a great scene. I don’t know if I had bad parents or what, but they let me watch The Shining. "The first seed of this story was planted when I was 7 or 8 years old. What inspired the series? Where did the idea originate?
