****

Liberated woman suspects foul play after moving to Connecticut town where nearly all her peers are or are becoming strangely contented housewives. And, she realizes, she's next. Short, subtle, and tightly plotted horror thriller is also a not-entirely-one-sided satire of American gender roles. The prescient blurb for the first edition mentions "Stepford Wife" as a potential cultural buzzword. Filmed twice, seriously in 1975, farcically in 2004.
