"The Green Mile Part 6: Coffey On The Mile" by Stephen King (1996)


"'And if you're thinking of getting him a new trial on the basis of this one thing, you better think again, senor.  John Coffey is a Negro, and in Trapingus County we're awful particular about giving new trials to Negroes."

"John Coffey On The Mile" is the final part of Stephen King's serialized novel The Green Mile, which was later adapted into a movie of the same name.  In this final part John Coffey, a miracle worker accused of the murder of two young white girls, faces the electric chair and certain death.

I've read a lot of Stephen King's novels and stories over the years, and this novella is certainly one of his best.  I can't speak on how it compares or relates to the other novellas in the series, but Part 6, taken on its own merits, is excellent.
