Book Synopsis:
An impressive and very funny collection of stories by Teresa Solana but the fun is very dark indeed. The oddest things happen. Statues decompose and stink out galleries, two old grandmothers are vengeful killers, a prehistoric detective on the verge of becoming the first religious charlatan trails a triple murder that is threatening cave life as the early innocents knew it. The collection also includes a sparkling web of Barcelona stories–connected by two criminal acts–that allows Solana to explore the darker side of different parts of the city and their seedier inhabitants.
My Review:
Firstly I have to say I don’t read an awful lot of short stories but found the blurb for this book very intriguing. I wasn’t disappointed as The First Prehistoric Serial Killer is a selection of very original, dark yet funny stories that I thoroughly enjoyed.
There wasn’t any connection between the stories but that wasn’t confusing as each story in brilliantly told and developed so the reader soon let’s go of any previous stories or characters. Most of the stories are from a woman’s point of view but all show a different points of view or a different slice of society which made from a very interesting read.
My favourite, ironically, was The First Prehistoric Serial Killer and But There Was Another Solution which is the last book, though all the stories were good in their own right.
This is the first book by this author I have read and I’d definitely be interested in reading more from her in the future. If you like clever stories full of black humour then you’ll love this book.
Huge thanks to Anne Cater for inviting me onto the blog tour and for my copy of the book.
