I don’t mind gore in tv, movies, or videogames as long as it is done right. I’m new to reading (started this year). I read “Bunny” by Mona Awad and loved it. I started “Tender is the Flesh” and had to quit because it was too gross for me. But now I’m reading “The Hike” by Drew Magary and I am loving it.
On my tbr I have books like “The Spear Curs Through Water” “The Blacktongue Thief” “Vicious” by VE Schwab. These books all intrigue me but now I’m more cautious of content/trigger (The Spear… & The Blacktongue… have a lot of warnings) warnings because I had to quit “Tender is the Flesh”. Are these books anywhere near that level of grossness? Or is the violence/body gore/torture/cannibalism/etc. done more tastefully? (I kinda of thought Tender… was blunt, boring, nd only done for shock value).
Note: As you might have guessed from my post, I want to get into Fantasy books, but never read a fantasy book before. (the hike, this is how you lose the time war, & Piranesi being the closest thing I’ve read to fantasy)
