AbstractHistoryArchive Description
'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)
