Modern Urban Magical Realism (20 books)

Listopia > Modern Urban Magical Realism

I don't think of these as urban fantasy so much as a sort of magical realism - there are magical elements tucked into a mostly realistic story. Most online lists using this term include mainly stories set in Latin America, but I think magical realism can be found anywhere.
