The year was 1932. John Coffey, a [[Gentle Giant]] black man, has been condemned to die by the electric chair for the raping and killing of two young girls. What follows is a supernatural journey that not only reveals Coffey's wondrous powers and proves he didn't do the crime: but [[Downer Ending|still does the time]], but changes the lead guard's life forever.

Eventually made into [[The Green Mile (film)|a movie]] in 1999, directed by Frank Darabont, who also directed ''[[The Shawshank Redemption]]'', and starring [[Tom Hanks]].
