One summer night, years ago, my husband and I got lost in Yosemite Park, our flashlights went out and it got cold we stumbled upon a park ranger's shelter no one there, but we were able to sleep and find warmth even some stale coffee, before we found it. I was horrified. Being lost is no fun but being a child with nothing to sustain yourself would be more so a horrific experience. I read it. Great little book. King's most frightening when he touches us with reality.
@@stephenkingbookclub1054ok but who is she? I've been trying to figure that out all over. From this video to the "Dolan's Cadillac" one, to google, and so on. Where's her credit? Also I'm curious because she sounds just like the girl from Secret Base
As a lifelong Maine Resident myself it's great that you're bringing so many of our local stories into the spotlight. I don't know of a single person who didn't hear about Trisha's story in school but she's always been "just a little girl" to us. It's really nice to hear from her now that she's all grown up. Looking forward to following you further along this journey.
OMG this was brilliant, and mentioning Derry at last! Fantastic! Good old George, I hope he always survives his adventures and winds us all up doing so.
I think about this story every single time I hear about anyone lost hiking or camping even today and I read it when it first came out. This is one that definitely stays with you.
I loved this one, one of the best shorter stories. Just finished reading The Institute. That one could cross over a number of his other books, The two that cross my mind is Fire Starter and Dead Zone
Hey, you just summed up what I remember about that story. The terror of being vulnerable to wilderness, through the eyes of a child. This feeling is the only memory that comes to my mind. I read it many years ago, and I forgot how it ended. Was she rescued at the end? I don’t recall if the book has a happy ending.
@@mademoisellenseven Time to dust off some old tomes! This channel has reminded me also that it's that time! I'm not really into the newer books but it might just be that time of my life😢! It took me several tries to read The Stand because I just couldn't get into it, but when I did, Bam! I couldn't put it down h even read it twice & then the unedited once😊!!! Tom Gordon was one of my favorites!
I've only ever read maybe 2 of King's books (Dreamcatcher and 1 more that I can't remember the title), but I've seen a few of his movies & tv series (my favorite is Shawshank Redemption & Rose Red). I stumbled over this channel and now I'm hooked! I absolutely love the "deep dive" into the lore of a story, to give it deeper meaning. And wow, it's actually creepier to see these stories from the perspective of a podcaster than the actual characters of the stories. Well done!
Loved the book and loved this! Amazing that you managed to track her down and had her speak so freely about her “adventures” in those woods. Good luck finding your way back 😆
I'm so glad you enjoyed it... but full disclosure, this video is a combination of fan-fiction and story analysis done by voice actors. We often create mockumentary-style videos to explore Stephen King's fiction. :)
This was so much fun to listen to ! I love this book and to hear it from “ Trisha’s “ perspective is absolutely incredible ! Brilliant idea and interview ❤
Couldn't tell you why now but thus was my favorite and first Steven King book I ever read. Got a slightly ratty paperback copy from half price and repeatedly read it in middle school.
I love this channel and I love your content. I absolutely adore the different formats you use to explore Stephen King's stories, it's so creative. I hope you get all the success you deserve!❤
It is the only book I have read that gave me a Misery moment. I was pretty irritated with end because once the book got going it was like riding a bullet train and the end was the cinder block wall it slammed into. I won’t explain it in detail in case people show up who haven’t read it. Pretty excited I had never heard of “Desperation” until finding this channel. Searching for a copy I discovered its mirror novel “The Regulators” they both just arrived today.
also found your channel couple days ago. Your content is amazing. so well written, so well narrated, just top quality stuff Georgies goin back to derry! will he float?
Love this story, one of king’s best. Would make a hell of a movie. If nobody else will make it, I will, dammit! Nice low budget, about $30 mill should do it. Internet: give me your money, you might get it back…..
If you don’t already have a copy good luck finding a copy at a good price. I got lucky finding mine. I only paid $10 or I wouldn’t have it. All the other copies I have found are in the $40+ range.
As someone who hasn't read the book, I'm really on tenterhooks on exactly what happened and how he got away cuz I *know* it's all insider info for fans and I'm like wtf?
"The world had teeth, and it could bite you any time it wanted." George, I gotta hand it to you: You come back swinging more than Freddy Krueger! My hat is off to you! Also, good for Tricia! I totally believe she'd become a park ranger after her experience. After you escape ghoulish priests to wicked gods, you can take anything! *Also* also, good luck in fucking Derry! Avoid the sewer grates, don't talk to anybody, and for God's sake if you see any clowns, run for the hills!
This one just felt off to me. this was surprising to me cause these are usually on point. I can't put my finger on why this one just.... didn't hit.....
Love this channel but i HATE the use of generative ai. I wish you would just use stock images or work with an artist. Again i love the core of the work but everytime an ai image pops up it makes me so frustrated because i know you could do better and that you dont want to support these companies stealing from actual artist.
As an actual visual artist and illustrator, I would be more than happy to volunteer my work! But I suppose that hiring a human who works in real physical media takes more time and money than most people are willing or able to pay, and as we've seen in music already, it's the art that's going to suffer for it. Which is sad, because AI is fast, and true mastery in any of the arts requires time and patience, things that seem to have less and less value of late.
I can't wait to hear this! Also dying to know how George Hatfield got out of Desperation!! Love this channel
Not only are you reminding me of the King stories I know, but you're bringing ones to my attention that I didn't even know about.
Same
This was such a good book! Devastating &
gripping in ways I never expected it to be. Happy reading.
They're going to Derry! "I'm so excited!! I'm so excited!! I'm so.... scared!"
Well played.
Thank you George. The girl who loved Tom Gordon is a wonderful novel. I happily read and thoroughly enjoyed. ❤

The guest voice actor is absolutely fantastic.
Couldn't agree more! Hopefully she'll be featured in future episodes of Strange Resort.

Thank you so much :)
I'm so sorry it took so long for you to find out but I'm also glad she's okay! Though i do wonder about Derry.
You knocked this one out if the park.
That's very kind of you to say!
So much for rethinking his life choices.
George is gonna float.
So impressed by the voice actors, as always 👍🏾👍🏾
I'm so glad that George played this episode safe-ish, we were very worried about him!
OMG this was brilliant, and mentioning Derry at last! Fantastic!
Good old George, I hope he always survives his adventures and winds us all up doing so.
My favorite book not just of Stephen King but of all time❤
I remember reading this I believe in 2001. Right out of high school. Excellent book
I think about this story every single time I hear about anyone lost hiking or camping even today and I read it when it first came out. This is one that definitely stays with you.
I love that story, one of my favourite King books.
Good work. Thanks Narrator.
Oh thank you for yet another wonderful episode ❤ we are all very appreciative.
That was brilliant, glad I stayed up! Really liked the voice over the imagery, and looking forward to Derry (was wondering when you would go there! 🎈)
I loved this one, one of the best shorter stories. Just finished reading The Institute. That one could cross over a number of his other books, The two that cross my mind is Fire Starter and Dead Zone
Love the story! Headed out to Derry huh? What could possibly go wrong there? 😊
this was such a good book. no supernatural elements, just man vs nature

This was a fantastic talk. I read the book without realizing the story behind it, and I always felt so proud of the little girl when I'd think of it.

Oh whoops thank you for the explanation, great story!
He did put the background in the book. I think that it may be time for me to read it again❤!!!
@@missmarianne_eFull props to them, cuz they were so good, WE COULDN'T TELL THE DIFFERENCE.
Seriously, she absolutely came across as 100% genuine!
Thats nice . I like this team up .
This was so much fun to listen to ! I love this book and to hear it from “ Trisha’s “ perspective is absolutely incredible ! Brilliant idea and interview ❤
Holy smoke you guys are good. 😮
Thank you for this! It's one of my favorite books and I'm always recommending it to friends. I was hoping you'd cover it!
It's so good!
I feel like I’m getting closure to all my favorite king stories ! Thank you ❤
You're so welcome!
if you would consider doing an episode like this one, on 4 past midnight, the langolires especially🙏 please, loved the episode
I am so immersed in this that I keep forgetting it is fiction. Well done!! 👏
This video brought back a lot of memories of Tom “Flash” Gordon. Being from Kansas City, I remember seeing many of a Royals games and his curve ball.
This was great. I really loved the interview and presentation. I enjoyed this more than the actual short story. Thanks.
Phew, glad that George got out of Desperation alright ☺️
Couldn't tell you why now but thus was my favorite and first Steven King book I ever read. Got a slightly ratty paperback copy from half price and repeatedly read it in middle school.
I love all of your videos so much.
BRAVO
ENCORE
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
This was brilliantly done
The last Stephen King book I read over a decade ago but I do remember enjoying it.
Thanks!

I got the pop out book of this novel.
Interviewing the protagonists is a gret idea.
Wouldn't mind another story with the God of the Lost.
I really hope she joins you!
You're gonna need all the help you can get...
also found your channel couple days ago. Your content is amazing. so well written, so well narrated, just top quality stuff Georgies goin back to derry! will he float?
Thanks so much... glad you found us. And yes, George is currently working on a story in Derry! We hope to hear from him very soon!
Same. I've binge watched (almost) the entire back catalog while grinding out levels in Destiny 2.
I had this book. Wish I still did
I was very curious as to how you would present this story!! I really loved that it was an interview with Trisha! Brilliant!❤
Love this story, one of king’s best. Would make a hell of a movie. If nobody else will make it, I will, dammit! Nice low budget, about $30 mill should do it. Internet: give me your money, you might get it back…..
This is my favourite book he wrote
This was the first King book I ever read, when I was 10 or 11. Hooked ever since
I really felt bad for this kid, and I loved how they describe the creature, was it a bear or something else?
I would like to know about how he escaped desperation
If you don’t already have a copy good luck finding a copy at a good price. I got lucky finding mine. I only paid $10 or I wouldn’t have it. All the other copies I have found are in the $40+ range.
@@Kageoni187 I'm talking about the last strange resort video
@@zachmegna7003 oooh, I’m sorry.
As someone who hasn't read the book, I'm really on tenterhooks on exactly what happened and how he got away cuz I *know* it's all insider info for fans and I'm like wtf?
This sounds exactly like a King story. So crazy.
I look forward to your videos . I really enjoy your talented work.
Pretty cool video, as usual. Kinda hoping that George and Trish DON'T become a long term item, as I'm not fond of 'shipping.
"The world had teeth, and it could bite you any time it wanted."

We've tried to warn George about going to Derry... but you know George, he doesn't always take the hint! At least he won't be alone.
@@stephenkingbookclub1054 indeed. At least Tricia can throw her Walkman at Pennywise XD
I won't watch the movie, but i absolutely loved the book
❤😊
This was the only book I could actually finish of SK
I love how Strange Resorts is actually becoming an overarching storyline.
That is just totally cool. She grew up to be a park ranger. 😎👍
I'm happy you got out alive.
This one just felt off to me. this was surprising to me cause these are usually on point. I can't put my finger on why this one just.... didn't hit.....
The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon
Pennywise is waiting for you
They make a good couple. True he's at least 25 years older, but she's established as having an affinity for older men so it makes sense.
LOL, I think they're just friends. George Hatfield doesn't really let anyone get close to him. He's been hurt before.
Just remember, Trisha.
It did not go far.
Munchos are so delicious
App-a-latch-in…..as a born and raised mountain girl please use the correct pronunciation.

Love this channel but i HATE the use of generative ai. I wish you would just use stock images or work with an artist. Again i love the core of the work but everytime an ai image pops up it makes me so frustrated because i know you could do better and that you dont want to support these companies stealing from actual artist.
Yes!!!
As an actual visual artist and illustrator, I would be more than happy to volunteer my work! But I suppose that hiring a human who works in real physical media takes more time and money than most people are willing or able to pay, and as we've seen in music already, it's the art that's going to suffer for it. Which is sad, because AI is fast, and true mastery in any of the arts requires time and patience, things that seem to have less and less value of late.
I've got to read this one...and find my compass! 🧭
