Inspirations - JURASSIC PARK and THE LOST WORLD

12/13/2024

I'm sharing some of the books, films, and TV shows that inspired Rule of Extinction, both to provide  recommendations and to give readers a sense of what to expect.
​Jurassic Park and The Lost World are two more inspirations for my new book, Rule of Extinction.

Monster stories resonate because we have a primal fear deep in the back of our minds about being eaten (or stomped, slashed, and gored).

Dinosaurs are some of the best monsters. They're unlike anything we've ever seen, yet they’re real. They existed.

One thing that makes the JP franchise so effective is that the theme park scenario puts regular everyday people face-to-face with these monsters.

My first book, The Dinosaur Four, included many of the same dinos as the JP franchise, though I depict them as vicious, feral animals, while the films tend to depict them majestically.

In The Dinosaur Four, the "veggie-sauruses" are every bit as dangerous as the carnivores.

It's the best R-rated B-movie time-travel dinosaur thriller you'll read all week.

Rule of Extinction is bigger and better than The Dinosaur Four.

Rest assured: even though Rule of Extinction is a post-apocalyptic first-contact story, it's also monster horror.

There are plenty of dangerous creatures that want to eat, stomp, slash, or gore anyone who gets in their way.

And they do.

If you haven't read (or watched) Jurassic Park and The Lost World in a while, maybe it's time to revisit them. (Click the book covers above for links.)
