What happens when a lifelong scientist lets his imagination run wild?

In this fascinating conversation, Joseph Ingerson Mahar discusses What If…? — a thrilling collection of short stories that blend horror, humor, and sharp reflections on human nature. After a 42-year career as an entomologist, Peace Corps volunteer, and Integrated Pest Management expert, Mahar turned his scientific curiosity into unforgettable fiction.

Written during long drives between farms, these stories twist reality, blur the line between the eerie and the absurd, and explore the strange corners of the human experience. Some tales will chill you. Others will make you laugh out loud. A few may leave you quietly unsettled long after the final page.

Perfect for fans of:

  • Neil Gaiman
  • Ray Bradbury
  • Stephen King
  • Thought-provoking horror anthologies
  • Dark comedy with a philosophical edge

From eerie twists to clever observations about life’s unpredictability, What If…? invites readers to ask one simple question:

What if the world isn’t quite what you think it is?

If you enjoy imaginative storytelling that challenges perception while entertaining you at every turn, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss.
