'With the whip-crack tenacity of a Raymond Chandler novel, we are pushed right into the heart of the action and emerge breathless and bloodied. Hop into the driver's seat alongside a cast of drifters, psychotics and hapless losers.'
Reg Cribb, playwright, screenwriter, actor
For the price of two movie tickets, Ron Elliott's criminally good mini novels bring cinema's best known genres to the page. Celebrate the celluloid as you read your way into a noir movie, romantic farce, comedy heist, thriller and classic Aussie road movie.
Brimming with cinematic references, Now Showing is best consumed with a tub of hot popcorn.
