Screwtop Thompson, Booker Prize-shortlisted author Magnus Mills' third collection of short stories,[1] brings together ten short tales that "trundle gently between the ordinary, absurd and the outright surreal."[2] Often tagged as the "bus driver novelist",[3] Mills writes short stories described as "solid, crafted from deceptively simple sentences and concerning simple characters trying to achieve simple goals, which makes their sudden flights of fancy all the more unexpected."[4]
