Can you suggest any authors who are along the lines of subtle magical realism, like Haruki Murakami or David Mitchell?
Hoping to find current/new authors along these lines...

Well, you're surely aware of the Latin American authors, who are the most important representatives of this genre. Marquez, Borges and Allende are the major exponents. A Mexican writer of interest is Laura Esquivel.
Italo Calvino and Gunter Grass are important among Europeans.
Then, you should also look at Salman Rushdie and Alice Hoffman.
