Many relationships are doomed from the start. 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?
