No matter how much gore you put in, there are going to be people who think it's too much.

Just as there will be people who think there's not enough.

Some will think it has to be relevant to the story. Others will enjoy the gore for its own sake.

Even asking for opinions here is meaningless, because you're just getting those opinions from the people who happen to be here.

I've seen the same type of reactions to the amount of sex in my books. No matter how hard you try, you're not going to please everyone.

The best thing to do is write what you feel comfortable writing, and then attempt to communicate the level of gore in your blurb. (Understanding that even if you do, there will be those who read it anyway and will be offended.)

In other words, there WILL be people upset with what you write. Just get used to it.
