A Visit - 5/5
This is just proto-Hill House. Shirley loves a haunted house, a critique on society, a lost woman, a cycle that must repeat.

The Beautiful Stranger - 5/5
When you strive for sameness, do you lose yourself? Is your home not everyone's home? Do you have a home if nothing belongs to you, if you are a stranger married to a stranger in a stranger's home and a stranger's nation? An American problem.
