A friend of mine recently warned me that when writing a horror story, I need to be sure not to go overboard on the gore. Because of the subject of the story is going to have some amount of gore, but I need to know where to draw the line and what sort of balance I need for the story.
What are your opinions for how much gore is too much and how to know when your story has too much and little else?
