'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.' (Publisher's blurb)
