AD NAUSEAM : 13 Tales of Extreme Horror
Exotic, Erotic, Gruesome and Gory! What if your Muse really was a twisted bitch, and she lived in your spare bedroom? And how far would you go to improve your station in life? In this premiere collection by C.W. LaSart, you will find 13 gruesome tales of the macabre, from a simpleton who forms an unnatural obsession with his own backyard to a lonely woman whose suitor is not heaven-sent. These stories, ranging from the supernatural to the darkness that lives within the human heart, are sure to send a chill down your spine and a flush to your face. Certain to disturb and delight, Ad Nauseam is a walk through the twisted imagination of one of horror’s rising stars.
“This is C.W. LaSart’s debut book, and let me just say that it is one hell of a debut. Having followed her other short stories published in previous anthologies, I was beyond excited to dig into a collection consisting entirely of her own work. And I was not let down. LaSart is quite new to the scene, but she certainly doesn’t write like it–I will not be surprised if I soon see her name on a Bestseller’s list.” Max on Amazon
“If you want a great collection of short horror, look no further. LaSart is the real deal. The highlights for me are the amazing opener ‘Simple Pleasures’; both hilarious and gruesome,’The Hand that Feeds’, which has one of the roughest, most intense sequences I’ve read in recent years, and ‘Widow’ which expertly mixes Cronenberg body horror with John Waters style suburban satire. I haven’t been this satisfied reading a horror collection by one author since Joe Hill’s ’20th Century Ghosts’. Pick it up. ” Escoe Allen on Amazon
“I can’t wait for C.W. to write another short story collection or novel. This book just wasn’t enough. ” Witchreader on Amazon
“C.W. LaSart uses evocative prose with mind-numbingly gruesome description. Every story in this book is worth reading. There is not a one that I did not like. I highly recommend Ad Nauseam. Warning: not for the weak at heart. This is one disgusting read. ” Abby from Hobbes End Reviews
“I highly recommend this one for fans of Clive Barker and AMC’s American Horror Story. So, don’t be afraid… you know you want it. ” Jack Babalon author of High Midnight
“Each tale is superbly written. Each has a wonderful flow from the opening paragraph to the last sentence. My personal favorites in the collection were Micah’s Muse, Bone Phone, Carnality and Angel Lust. All three evoked a different response from my psyche – which is exactly what a story should do.If you like your horror more on the extreme side, you cannot go wrong with this collection. I predict that C. W. LaSart will be a name that in the not so distant future will be compared to both Richard Laymon and Ramsey Campbell. ” Kat Yares from Amazon
“From the very first story I read in her collection, I was hooked on this author’s unique style. “Simple Pleasures” was engaging, fun, and downright creepy. “Widow” had me itching until the very end. Both were my favorites, and both were genuinely scary and yes, extreme!I look forward to reading more from C. W., and trust me, once you start reading some of her work, you’re sure as &*^%$# going to come back for more as well!Two bony thumbs up, and a special evil grin from the jester for this fine, fine collection. Love it!!
–Charles Day, Author of THE LEGEND OF THE PUMPKIN THIEF, THE PLAN, and BURN
“One of the exciting new voices in horror, C.W. LaSart is most definitely “the stuff”. Dark, gory, horrifying stories like Clive Barker and Big Steve used to write. Some of these stories are like H.P. Lovecraft on bath salts. Some of them are like King in full-on IT mode. Brilliantly encapsulated, finely wrought and completely unforgettable. If you like your horror gruesome, disturbing and full of sex and death, C.W. LaSart has your medicine. Drink it down, baby!” Axel Howerton author of Hot Sinatra
“I picked up a copy of Ms. LaSart’s Ad Nauseum via the Horror Writer’s Association Bram Stoker Award® 2012 recommendation sheet. I read some of her work prior to reading this collection, so I knew what to expect. She has a vivid writing style that holds your attention. These stories did not disappoint, engaging and wrapping me up in their horror. She has the unique ability of combining the sick with the sicker, making for gruesome yet enjoyable tales. While not every story worked for me, the vast majority of them were outstanding, and I would highly recommend this collection to anyone who enjoys the genre.” Ken Cain author of These Old Tales
“Simply put, if you’re a horror fan you absolutely can’t afford to pass by this wonderful collection. It’s rare to come across such a great new talent in the horror field, but CW Lasart is poised to make waves and break through big time. Her writing style and skill are well beyond most of her peers and her imagination seems wired to conjure up some really great things. I can’t recommend this one highly enough.” Bryan Hall author of The Vagrant
“Best single-author collection I’ve read in 2012. I look forward to reading more of this author’s work. ” A. Ludens from Amazon
“the imagination of the author is vast and obviously very active creating for interesting reads about things that I don’t see normally in stories.” Jessica Tate from Goodreads.
“Sister Alice’s Suitor grossed me out beyond belief! It wasn’t even the necrophilia that grossed me out so much. It was her delivery. I truly thought I was going to throw up. Some really gross stories in this book!” Lea from Goodreads

Love this cover – very creepy! 🙂
Congrats again!
Thanks Kim! It’s not “bat scary”, but I think it will do 😉
This cover is incredibly awesome. I love it.
Thank you! I’m pretty excited about it myself!
Awesome! Did you make that?
Oh no! I’m not that talented! Dark Moon Books has it’s own artists that do the art-I don’t even know the name of the guy/gal who designed it, but the publisher did let me help pick the best one 🙂
Well that is just plain excellent.
Why thank you Axel!
Great look. Love the stark feel, and neutral tones.
eden
Thank you Eden-I’m quite in love with it!

Thanks Mark!
Nice work! Perhaps someday I will have my own work published with such a nice cover….anyway great work and keep writing!
Thanks! I appreciate the kind words! Good luck on all of your endeavors!
Can’t wait to get my copy. I would like to stress that I’m not blowing smoke up your behind. I’m a fan.
Thanks! And I know you aren’t blowing smoke Haha!
I can’t wait for this one either it is great to follow a consistently good author and read and reread those stories. Now i have stuff to read to my girls for Halloween and stormy nights.
Thanks David! You will be waiting just a bit longer though because Stan and I decided it makes more sense to release this early next year, rather than in November with only a couple of months left to push it. 😉
Loving the cover! More jeepers creepers than in-your-face gore-scary!

Well thank you , Sir!
Love the cover, verrrryy creeeppyy
Thank you much 🙂
Great cover. We got a crown of throns tangeled all across her body, full moon, tombstones, blood ‘n’ breasts and an old tree. Is there anything wishful/sinful left?
Perfectly creepy =)
Hey “Theenormityofitall” here…..sound familiar :).
I really like the description of your book: “13 Tales of Extreme Horror”….the “Extreme” is what I can’t wait for!
I really hope you enjoy it 🙂
I’m sure I will!
As always, I’m late to the party. But anyway, congrats to say the least. The cover, as others have said is AWESOME. I know that covers for writers can be an area of disappointment. GRAVE disappointment. So congrats there, too. Can’t wait to sink my teeth into it.
Best,
Cp
Thanks Carl! That cover is pretty spiffy. We are looking at a release of around March 1st and I look forward to hearing what you think of it 🙂
So my mom got me this book for my birthday (and its signed) and so far its awesome! There is some weird and bizarre stuff in here and coming from me thats alot 🙂 most definatly going to have to find your other work! Im. Big reader and have yet to find this kind of stuff. Not for the faint of heart, thats for sure. Good luck in Salt Lake and all your future endeavors!!!
Thanks a lot, Samantha! I’m glad you’re enjoying it 🙂
I will give that money more worthy — as for you, I will leave you to beg for your meals. I am not going to buy a single book from you because of your refusal to acknowledge what I am trying to do. In case you realize I have published one of your bosses too. You screw my roster out of readerships and screw me out of royalties as you are an author that’s worth avoiding.
Thank you for your comment, Nickolaus. I am very flattered by the recent flurry of attention you’ve shown myself and my work. This must be what they call being “Nicky Famous”.
You know what I said LaSart — time to back off and let me earn my royalties. You want to know how I found your number; I guess you don’t go on Whois.com. Tell me do you support what Christian Morgan pulled by bastardizing my company’s name to do a smear anthology — when you realize what that cunt pulled you would back off and let me earn my royalties. This is a level playing field because Ramsey Campbell uses the same place I used to publish my anthologies now.
Go away, Nicky. You have gone beyond internet harassment and crossed a legal line. If you call my phone number again, I will turn you into the police.
Cross the line — no I am just calling you out; the fact being Brian Keene went for my SSN. You realize you remaining quiet about that — you piss on other Conservatives; when I was telling the truth. You can’t admit the truth without a clear conscious. I didn’t cross the line — Brian Keene did by enabling my work to be plagiarized, lying to CreateSpace.com saying how I “published” his e-mail address in a recent release.
that one call I did — was I needed to set the record straight. You said I am resourceful.
Yes, that ONE call crossed a line. Don’t make it two. I have no interest in you or your troubles. You are not my responsibility. The only reason I allow you to comment on here at all is for evidentiary purposes. Keep digging that hole. I’m more than willing to shove the dirt back over you. For the last time, go away. Leave me in peace. Live your life and forget my name.
Back off me then; let me earn my royalties and you know I am real. That one call is all I needed to set the record straight. There is a controversy with Brian Keene as he lied to CreateSpace.com. You keep covering for him and you will be gong down with him. The fact of the matter he lied to CreateSpace.com — fabricated the letter about how I “published” his e-mail address in Legend Keeper. He stole from a fucking museum for God’s sake — do you sabotage other Conservatives? That’s an unwritten rule; give other Conservatives room to really do some damage if they are going to overturn some tables. This is his lie on full display. Do you want to deny truth? You want to sabotage someone who tells the truth and is a Conservative — you shouldn’t call yourself a Conservative. Legend Keeper was set in the 1980s — e-mail wasn’t fully realized yet.
Make that voice mail public — I want people to hear what I said to you; the fact is I am waiting for Jason V. Brock to do the same because I told him the truth. You want to deny truth, deny that a plagiarism took place. Brian Keene admitted to enabling a novella not yet published to be plagiarized when it wasn’t finished at the time. He enabled Legend Keeper and An Eye In Shadows to also be ripped too; I caught two assholes plagiarizing Ghosts in the Tornado as Wraiths in the Wind and Passenger from Tabloid Purposes IV which I wrote after studying Kealan Patrick Burke’s story Epiphany. Do you realize Burke and I are born a day apart damn it — same year, same month one day apart. Don’t you realize that’s journalist fodder when you think about that — don’t be a fucking poser about this too.
