Coming Home in The Dark 26 years on

A famous kiwi short story 'Coming Home In the Dark' by Owen Marshall is appearing on screens next week as a feature film of the same name. It's based on the titular story of New Zealand short Story maestro Owen Marshall's 1995 collection and has haunted the dreams of thousands of New Zealanders who have read it. It's based in the world just beyond our towns and "safe" spaces, just off the beaten track. Coming Home in the Dark is directed by James Ashcroft and written by James along with Eli Kent and the author of the original story Owen Marshall. Owen will be appearing later in the year at the Mackenzie Book and Art Festival to discuss his career of writing killer stories.
