But what if there was a way to save them? The characters in Magic Can't Save Us think they may have the answers-why visit a human counselor when you could spend the night in a house haunted by a poltergeist that specializes in couples therapy? Others are ready to call it quits, like the pair that's torn apart, literally, by a bevy of belligerent harpies. Meanwhile, a scorned woman hires a dragon to guard her house from her cheating mate, a couple tries to combat the inertia of their marriage through the revitalizing charms of unicorn meat, and a centaur seduces a luckless man's girlfriend over a series of conference calls. In these eighteen tales of likely failure, when a magical creature shows up, you know things are only going to get worse from there. Subverting the all-too-real emotions of romantic relationships with humor and iconoclastic takes on classic fantastical beings, Magic Can't Save Us makes us rethink the choices we have made in order to ask a harrowingly human question: Just what does it take to redeem a relationship?''-- Provided by publisher.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eProduct Specs:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN\/ISBN\u003c\/b\u003e: 9781608012718\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eContributor\u003c\/b\u003e: Josh Denslow\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCall Number\u003c\/b\u003e: PS3604.E5875\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eDewey\u003c\/b\u003e: 813.6\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCategory\u003c\/b\u003e: Interpersonal relations ; Fantasy fiction ; Short stories\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eHarmonized Code\u003c\/b\u003e: 4901.99.0075\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublish Date\u003c\/b\u003e: 05\/02\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"UNIVERSITY OF NEW ORLEANS PRESS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53071660679450,"sku":"ING.1608012719","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2190\/6443\/files\/content_id_lmXS0AEACAAJ_printsec_frontcover_img_1_zoom_1_source_gbs_api.jpg?v=1791869351","url":"https:\/\/homenhearts.com\/products\/magic-cant-save-us-eighteen-tales-of-likely-failure-josh-denslow-university-of-new-orleans-press-9781608012718a","provider":"Home n Hearts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
