Magic Realism

Definition “Magical elements are blended into a realistic atmosphere in order to access a deeper understanding of reality. These magical elements are explained like normal occurrences that are presented in a straightforward manner which allows the "real" and the "fantastic" to be accepted in the same stream of thought.” – Stolen from Wiki.

So Basically… Magic realism adds a magical quality (ghosts, psychics, etc.) into an otherwise realistic and modern world. The magic is accepted. Not a strict definition. Variations may occur.

These are NOT magical realism Comic book stories. Science fiction. Horror.
