Would you read a book with gratuitous violence?

So I've been working on this rough draft for a book. It's mostly just shit I came up with I didn't even take it all that seriously to begin with but now I'm actually hoping to finish it eventually. Now, I know everyone thinks violent thoughts at some point or another it's part of human nature but would any of you lot actually buy a book that admits to being nothing more than a book of violence? Not horror, just cruelties. Things like beating another human being to within an inch of their life and raping regardless of gender just for the sake of complete domination and caging a person up until they loose their sanity.

It's got a storyline, it's not just listing violent things that can happen, It's got a plot I'm developing gradually but it all revolves around the violent nature of the world's least affectionate.

Yeah yeah I know you all are going to hop on the comments like "Oooh so edgy, wtf are you some suppressed emo dipshit, some s&m virgin" or whatever. Idc about all that. Call me whatever you want. I'm just wondering if you'd read it. Even out of curiosity, just a page.

It's not like I endorse all this shit. I don't. I admit I'm chickenshit I wouldn't even hit someone if they deserved it. I don't endorse rape or anything either but I think about it just about as much as you lot think about shit you shouldn't. Sex or rape or violence or whatever. Whatever's just outside your circle of acceptable.

Tell me what you think.

Regardless of what you lot say I'm going to end up finishing it. It's just a matter of whether or not I put the effort into editing it.

    I don't know really but you sure need to learn how to market your stuff. I heard some great things about a book called Blood Meridian. People said it was violent but the reason why I was interested was because it was a western. The violence should compliment the storytelling not be the centre of it.

    Sure. I read a graphic novel on tumblr a few years back that actually showed a child character getting raped, but it's not like it was done for perverted people to get off to or anything, it had a whole story leading up to it and showing the aftermath, I found it to be more psychologically informative than anything else. had nice art as well

    • Yeah, that's similar to what I'm going for. Following the main character's descent and the effect it all has on him whilst not really turning it all into some kind of clinical observation.

    I think you should write the finished copy in blood for extra effect.
