What if a single moment changed history forever? Explore bold alternate realities in this gripping anthology from Black Hare Press.

History isn’t written in stone—sometimes, it’s rewritten in blood.

Imagine a world where one choice could unmake empires, reshape civilizations, or resurrect forgotten gods. What If?, Volume One invites you into the shadows of history, reimagined by masters of dark speculative fiction. 

From the final days of Cleopatra as Roman legions close in, to the wild, haunted hills of Roman-ruled Hibernia, these stories peer into the cracks between fact and fantasy. Each tale examines a turning point—moments where a whisper of fate, a desperate prayer, or a brush with the supernatural sends history careening down a darker path. Ancient warriors return from the grave, lost gods demand sacrifice, and new empires rise on rivers of blood and hope. 

With richly drawn characters and immersive worldbuilding, this collection dares you to consider how the world might look if everything you knew about the past was suddenly untrue. 

Perfect for readers of alternate history, dark fantasy, and speculative fiction, What If?, Volume One proves that the only thing stranger than the past is what could have been.
