The Last Days of New Paris
scifi: Paris in 1950 is simultaneously overrun by weird surrealist creatures and occupied by Nazis (with some French resistance). turns out that in 1941, a chain of events led to the accidental activation of a magical device that turned ("manifested") the Surrealist drawings of a French Resistance group into reality. the climax is when the Nazis try to manifest a version of Adolf Hitler.

Some Manifs, Details, and their Sources
basically a glossary explaining all the Surrealist cameos in the book (I didn't really recognise any of them tbh)
