I realise that readers/ viewers will have different rational/ emotional reactions to books/ stories than you would to films/ TV.
What I'm trying to get at here is the differences in content between print and screen.
Has anyone read much of the so-called 'hardcore horror' from the likes of Edward Lee, Gerard Houarner, Charlee Jacob, and others published by David G. Barnett's
Necro?
I don't suppose filmmakers would ever be allowed to get away with much of that kind of extreme violence, even making indie movies... but it seems there's a growing small-press market for this material.
Can this stuff be considered (excuse puns) the cutting/ bleeding edge of horror fiction?
