Mark Gillespie's 'Outsider Tales' are a series of short fiction narratives about people who don't fit. In some way or other, all these people are different and each story in 'Outsider Tales' examines the struggles of these individuals to live and breathe in a world where one size is expected to fit all.
Snowballs from Mars: A Short Story (Outsider Tales #1)
'Freya McDonald has just left school with no qualifications, no prospects and no way out of the remote Scottish Highland town where she was born and raised. Resigning herself to a life of boredom, Freya takes the easiest job she can find - working as an assistant in the local library. But on her first day she's in for a shock when, as she's pushing a trolley of returned books back and forth, she stumbles across an old man engaged in a bizarre act of sexual fetishism with the library itself.
Snowballs from Mars is a 'thought-provoking' and 'entertaining' tragi-comic tale about fate, small town frustration, and wasted lives.' It is the first story in Mark Gillespie's short fiction series: 'Outsider Tales'
