For ...I was raised in 'Magical Realism'. <br /><br />For the Mexican half of my family ghosts, saints, spirits even people with 'abilities' are as real as the kitchen table.

I do like novels that explore realities that are close to our own with some subtle changes. <br /><br />Jessica, have you heard of the Lucky 7 meme? Well, I've tagged you.
