SynopsisThe #1 New York Times bestselling dramatic serial novel and inspiration for the Oscar-nominated film of the same name starring Tom Hanks, the "literary event" ( Entertainment Weekly ) of The Green Mile is now available in its entirety. When The Green Mile first appeared, serialized as one volume per month, Stephen King's The Green Mile was an unprecedented publishing triumph: all six volumes ended up on the New York Times bestseller list--simultaneously--and delighted millions of fans the world over. Welcome to Cold Mountain Penitentiary, home to the Depression-worn men of E Block. Convicted killers all, each awaits his turn to walk the Green Mile, keeping a date with "Old Sparky," Cold Mountain's electric chair. Prison guard Paul Edgecombe has seen his share of oddities in his years working the Mile. But he's never seen anyone like John Coffey, a man with the body of a giant and the mind of a child, condemned for a crime terrifying in its violence and shocking in its depravity. In this place of ultimate retribution, Edgecombe is about to discover the terrible, wondrous truth about Coffey, a truth that will challenge his most cherished beliefs...and yours., Set in the 1930s at the Cold Mountain Penitentiary's death-row facility,The Green Mileis the riveting and tragic story of John Coffey, a giant, preternaturally gentle inmate condemned to death for the rape and murder of twin nine-year-old girls. It is a story narrated years later by Paul Edgecomb, the ward superintendent compelled to help every prisoner spend his last days peacefully and every man walk the green mile to execution with his humanity intact.Edgecomb has sent seventy-eight inmates to their date with "old sparky," but he's never encountered one like Coffey -- a man who wants to die, yet has the power to heal. And in this place of ultimate retribution, Edgecomb discovers the terrible truth about Coffey's gift, a truth that challenges his most cherished beliefs -- and ours.Originally published in 1996 in six self-contained monthly installments,The Green Mileis an astonishingly rich and complex novel that delivers over and over again. Each individual volume became a huge success when first published, and all six were on theNew York Timesbestseller list simultaneously. Three years later, when Frank Darabont madeThe Green Mileinto an award-winning movie starring Tom Hanks and Michael Clarke Duncan, the book returned to the bestseller list -- and stayed there for months.And now -- with a new introduction by King's foreign agent Ralph Vicinanza, as well as the author's own foreword -- we have the first hardcover edition of this magnificent novel in which "King surpasses our expectations, leaves us spellbound and hungry for the next twist of plot"(The Boston Globe).With illustrations and a new frontispiece for this edition by Mark Geyer.

  • Another triumph for Stephen Kind

    I bought this book as a gift but I did read it years ago. Stephen King has had my attention for many years, as well as my daughter's.

  • Kill the intro, read the book

    I loved the collection but I kind of hated the introduction with the self-congratulatory story of all the business deals around the book’s publication. Skip that and the rest is excellent.

    I read (and still have) the original six paperback serial novels, but I've always wanted a copy of the complete saga in hardcover. I'm so glad I bought this and I can't wait to re-read it!
