(anon from above, hit post too soon)

I think what matters is that you write a good story. The reason why going full out on blood and gore can backfire isn't always because people are freaked out by blood and gore but because too much usually means other aspects of the work suffer. So all you're left with is the audience who doesn't care about characters or plot, they just want blood splatters and ickiness... and frankly, those people are probably more likely to see a movie than read a book about it.

If the writing is compelling enough, that's all that matters.
