Goodreads asked Aiden Merchant:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Aiden Merchant Since I have several projects in the works at all times, I'm going to direct this answer to the novella I have coming out early 2020. It's called SHIFTY THINGS and tells the story of a father, his daughter, and his brother coming across a farm in a dying world. Here, they choose to hide from the shadow creatures that have killed off humanity. Unfortunately for them, the farm holds some terrible secrets that will cost them dearly.

The idea of this came from a brief dream I had, in which a small family was shuffling through a dead forest when a crashing plane soars low above their heads. This is actually how the novella begins.
