Garcia Marquez incorporates these  important themes with fantasy tales-one describes a birth of a child between  an animal and human. Written within the genre of magic realism (a literary  style that "blends fantastic elements with realistic narrative") (Garcia  Marquez's Labyrinth), Garcia Marquez captures historical events by  essentially re-counting his own family history and influence with Columbian  history as a backdrop.   These fantasy tales can be linked to the family  tradition of telling fantasy stories, fables and fairy tales (Review).

His grandmother also played  a role with her obsession with superstition and magic(Macondo).

Magical realism is clearly present throughout Gabriel-Garcia Marquez's novel Chronicle of a Death Foretold.  Magical realism is the juxtaposition of realism with fantastic, mythic, and magical elements.

The story is of a small cliff-side and coastal community
