The form of the serial is far from new—its history stretches from Dickens' serialized novels in the 1850's and '60's through the Saturday afternoon adventures that my generation enjoyed in movie theaters. But serial novels haven't appeared since my grandfather's day—until The Green Mile. So it was with mounting excitement that I watched as subsequent installments of King's tale proved that the form is as fresh today as it was when Dickens employed it.
