Take a trip into the past. Watch the Trojan War unfold, join a boar hunt in the Middle Ages, visit an Edwardian English seaside resort and accompany a 19th century German artist to a haunted castle.

These fifteen tales are not AI-generated, but crafted by a genuine writer. They blend Historical Fiction with other genres such as Fantasy, Horror, Paranormal and Steampunk, and they have been previously published in collections, anthologies, e-zines and magazines. Some of them are dark and even scary, others are upbeat and shine with hope. At the end of each tale, the author reveals the source her inspiration and how she went about developing the plot.

Several stories retell sections of famous myths from a different perspective - in many cases that of the women who are normally portrayed as helpless victims or evil villains. Why did Salome perform her notorious dance? Did Penelope genuinely wait for two decades for her husband's return? Was Cassandra genuinely mad? What were Briseis' true feelings about Achilles? The answers may surprise, provoke and even disturb.
