Letâs face it: most people irritate us. Hexes for the Modern Age is a tongue-in-cheek approach to giving these folks a taste of their own medicine. While inspired by witchesâ curses of the past, this is a gift book of 120 funny spells specific to the smartphone-obsessed, overworked, hipster-drenched reality of the present day.
Organized by categoryâlove, work, roommates, traffic, pets, weddings, and so onâeach hex is accompanied by an irreverent, Demetri Martinâtype line drawing. Spells include: âMay you start turning into your parents way earlier than you expected.â âMay all the cords to your electronics become entangled in a massive death coil.â âMay a full-size parking space that appears to be open actually be taken up by a tiny Vespa scooter.â âMay you always have 3 percent phone battery when you have no idea where youâre going and itâs in the middle of nowhere and thereâs no one else around.â
And many, many more!
This little book, with a spell and an illustration on every page, is perfect for anyone who wants a little subtle modern-day revenge.
