About the Book

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 Mile" is 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 the "New York Times" bestseller list simultaneously. Three years later, when Frank Darabont made "The Green Mile" into 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.
