The Green Mile by Stephen King : Part Two : The Mouse on the Mile - Chapters 5 and 6

https://www.youtube.com/@KikizSleepyCorner Summary of Chapter 5 and 6 : The creepiest scenes in The Green Mile occur in the underground tunnel connecting the storage shed to the outside world. King creates the ominous mood at the end of The Mouse on the Mile, Chapter 5 (and later chapters) with an allusion, or reference, to Edgar Allan Poe's short story "The Murders in the Rue Morgue," a detective story about the grisly murder of two women. Like the bloodthirsty ape in Poe's story, shadows in the "chilly and dank" tunnel loom large. This isn't a place anyone would want to be, especially with a dead body, This manuscript is the longest thing Paul Edgecombe has ever written, including the four-page love letter he wrote to his future wife, Janice, when he was 18. If he had known how long it would take him to tell the story of John Coffey on the Green Mile, he might not have started writing it at all. There's a lot more to explain—like the mouse—than Paul realized. He beseeches the reader not to forget about John Coffey, who is the real focus of the story.
