    THE GIRL WHO LOVED TOM GORDON is a gem of a novel, a tale of a young girl's survival in the wilderness, written by Stephen King...
    And in today's STRANGE RESORT podcast we'll be entering the world of Stephen King so that George Hatfield can interview Trisha MacFarland, also known as The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon...
    We also have a special announcement about our next series of Strange Resort videos that will take place in a small town in Maine... a little village you may have heard of... a place called Derry.

    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.

      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.

    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.

    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.

    "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!

    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.
