Magical Realism

The Changeling

by Victor LaValle

Apollo Kagwa embarks on a harrowing odyssey through an enchanted New York when his wife vanishes after an apparent act of violence. Blending folklore, parenthood, and urban mythology, LaValle crafts a tale where the boundaries between the magical and mundane dissolve, forcing Apollo to confront both supernatural terrors and deeply human truths.
