Okay, for instance, let's say I have a story with fey, werewolves, vampires, and all types of magic. These magic-based creatures are not hidden and thus interact with the real world. They're not a recent development, so I can't pretend that they didn't influence history in any way, shape, or form.
Would the existence of fey who granted miracles and made deals have hindered churches or strengthened them? How would have the founding fathers dealt with the existence of vampires? How do I deal with the scientific discoveries that were ignored in the face of trying to cure lycanthropy? Should I even worry about this at all and just plop my characters into a modern-day USA saying, "Everything is cool. All the historical events up to here are exactly the same, even adding creatures that might have totally changed everything."
Are there any books that I could read that deal with this? Do my questions even make sense? Thanks!
