So what's the deal with incest in books?

(Anonymous) 2020-04-02 12:43 am (UTC)(link)
I know there are plenty of popular books with incest in them (Game of Thrones, Flowers in the Attic, etc.) and recently my friend mentioned having bought an incest-themed book from Amazon.

But then the other day I was reading a bunch of summaries/reviews on Goodreads trying to look for something to read, and came across one that said how the book was only sold on the author's website because there was incest in it, and that went against Amazon's policy, and so they wouldn't sell it. Which obviously is not true, since they sell plenty of books with incest.

Was that person just lying and trying to be edgy or something? Or is it okay for books sold by large publishers, but not allowed for self-published books or something?

Does anyone know what the deal is?

I don't know about that but I do know that incest is really, really popular right now, and it's super weird that a huge number of people have to know this but basically nobody ever talks about it or acknowledges it

Amazon won't publish incest. Amazon does not control what various publishing houses will publish, and doesn't want to risk losing out on a share of the e-book market by trying to dictate terms.
