The Green Mile

Author: Stephen King

In this haunting tale, prison guard Paul Edgecombe recounts his time at Cold Mountain Penitentiary’s death row. The arrival of John Coffey, a gentle giant with supernatural healing powers, changes everything. As Paul grapples with the moral dilemma of executing an innocent man, he discovers the true nature of good and evil. King’s masterful storytelling weaves a poignant narrative that lingers long after the last page, leaving readers to ponder the complexities of justice and humanity.

We each owe a death, there are no exceptions, I know that, but sometimes, oh God, the Green Mile is so long.
