Early King writing is typical of his style of effortlessly grabbing you from the first paragraph and holding you spellbound until the end when you are rendered exhausted from the tension, panic and excitement of the grueling experience of a worst case scenario that seemingly could really happen.

It begins with a simple sex game between a woman and her husband involving handcuffs and a bed frame. It continues into the struggle of the woman to survive an episode of terror almost unimaginable.
