Spec Tac
My favorite writer is Haruki Murakami, and one aspect of what I enjoy from his books is the way his stories are grounded in reality, with a touch of the surreal. Everything seems as it is in the reality we know, but something subtly will shift, letting a bit of strangeness, weirdness, or other surreal-ness creep in, making it believable, or at least acceptable, because it can't necessarily be explained away.
