I've read THE STEPFORD WIVES & it was very close to the
telemovie, IIRC
(& a minor classic in it's own right, IMO). I agree with
Carrie: Feminist SF/gothic crossover with a noir feel. I
think all his books have that noir feel at least the ones
that Carrie mentioned. The others I'm only familiar with
through film versions - in fact I think just about all his
books were made into famous films.
