The Moon in Deep Winter
by Lee Polevoi

$0.99
Kindle Edition published 2008-01-10
Bestseller ranking: 460964

Product Description
This literary thriller revolves around Parker Sloane. When he returns from a dismal foray into third-world cash-smuggling to his childhood home in the woods of New England, it seems he’s seeing his country and his blended stepfamily for the first time—and finding both just as twitchy, desperate, paranoid and unpredictable as the underworld types he thought he’d escaped.

Before he can even unpack, Parker goes head-to-head with his relatives—his tyrannical stepfather, seething younger brother, newly evangelical mother, and his alluring younger half-sister Rita—and with the demons they never exorcised.

Delicately but disastrously, Parker attempts to keep his family from imploding, unaware that they have their own plans for escape. The Moon in Deep Winter combines the dark comedy of the Coen brothers with the doomed lyricism of Denis Johnson, creating an airtight world of homicidal family dysfunction.

Something tells me it's only going to get weirder when the other David comments on it.

No, actually it doesn't.  Note the location of the quote marks and the minus sign.  That search was for "baby bump" and wanted to leave OUT the porn findings.

The fact that they had to put in the minus to leave out porn findings means there must be enough of such sites to be annoying.  Which still makes you want to throw up a bit.

(Edit: I just did a search on baby bump and baby bump porn and didn't find any porn.... so maybe this person was just really really afraid of finding any.)

Maybe they have something that automatically screens out porn, like Cybersitter or something, that automatically does that when they search.  Maybe.  But maybe not.  But maybe so.

It's a shame, but it is a risk when we put up pictures of families/friends.  There are lots of sick people out there and they are not all in prison!

Thanks Camille!  I totally didn't realize you could minus out a word when searching.  I wonder why he wanted baby bump stuff anyway?  What is he looking for?  Huh

The fact that they were trying to avoid the porn makes it less creepy but almost more weird.

I've used the minus sign trick to filter search results before, but it does make you look twice when you see it like that ... !
